Any shortfall problems with Social Security are easy enough to fix.


Sure, just raise the SS tax about 5% and lift the cap.
The problem is finding a politician who would actually do it.


Or, raise the cap. The problem is that you keep cashing your check.
You're not required to cash it.

Lifting the cap alone is not really that much help. All you really
have to do top see that is look at the delta between Medicare and SS.
Medicare is not capped now.


Bull****.

It has been a couple years since I did it but the numbers are not
really that significant. We just do not have that many W2 people who
make more than the $113.7k that it is capped at now. (I think it was
$102k when I did it)
You can go to IRS.GOV and look at tax stats if you want to see for
yourself. They are in Excel format so you can download the files and
change the view


Feel free to give us your studied, indepth analysis. We know you're an
expert accountant among your other bull****.
