State of Iowa secondary Archives: on Social Security


Michael Franken: Make all earnings subject to the Social Security tax

Currently, workers and the self-employed are required to make a Social Security contribution only on the first $147,000 of earnings. We need to make all earnings subject to the Social Security tax. Removing that earnings cap will increase revenue and bring greater fairness to the system.
