Why don't you support it? Lifting it higher at this point (it's already about $100k) would be close to removing it altogether ... which would be even better as it should make the net percentage needed go down and thus make it less regressive. Unless you mean: FICA should go away completely and SS should appear "on budget" ... in which case I'm right there with ya, but as a first step, isn't it better than not lifting it?
