Sbane, you just can't resist embracing that most wrong headed notion that earned income should be taxed at a higher rate than non capital gain investment income, eh? Punish the upper middle class on their earned income (those making 100K to 200K per year), and punish them some more! This notion is one of the dumbest ideas the Dem Left has ever had really. Dumb!
I am perfectly fine with decoupling payroll taxes from SS, and dissolving the SS "trust fund" and making SS an old age pension plan, even though much of the Dem party is itself opposed to that notion, because they want this entitlement to have the safe harbor moniker that it has been "earned" and therefore is just a mandatory savings plan, that becomes inviable from the normal budgetary process. But don't F up the tax system to do it, darn it!
Capital gains should be subject to payroll tax as well, Torie.
