		<description>Why cap it at 250,000 why not tax it to the last possible cent.  Then because the Supreme Court has ruled the public has no legal right to social security the government can stiff everyone.

I love Obama.  He&#039;s so smart.  He part part the oceans.  He can bring people together.  He can create hope.

And here&#039;s hoping Americans aren&#039;t so dull that they can see a slyster when they offer snakeoil like this.</description>

		<description>As someone who&#039;s self-employed, I love Kimsch&#039;s idea a helluva lot more than Obama&#039;s.

		<description>Hi Kate long time.  Well.. there really isn&#039;t any
good plan for social security short of shooting 
all the old coots now while we can ;)  But as to 
the link you gave - &#039;doubling the pool of cash&#039; 
sounds nice but.. how many people are actually in 
that income bracket?  Without detailed income stats
infront of me I can&#039;s say for sure, but I suspect
cutting the lower brackets and doing as proposed to
all pay up to a new higher limit will result in less
not more.   As to the argument why would anyone want
to make more than 249,999.99  well.. because you are
still keeping most of that money?  But I do agree 
that around that level there will be shenanigans to 
try to avoid/minimize the tax but nobody would turn
down 300K because they will have to pay 10k more in
FICA.  We might grumble a bit but earning over 300K 
a year one shouldn&#039;t be grumbling too much!

		<description>Hi. I came here from your link on twitter.
Concerning doughnuts ... though I&#039;m from Austria I know this saying:

&quot;If you want to be a happy soul,
keep your eyes upon the doughnut,
and not upon the hole&quot;.

:)
It&#039;s up to you to apply these words
to the current social security debates.
