4. Repeal the tax cuts for the top 5% income earners and...
raise capital gains tax. Most of the richest people in America made their killings in the stock market. At the same time, cut taxes for the poorest in America, and cut taxes for the middle class.

6. Don't forget eliminate the cap on SS deductions.
Even if we just raised the cap enough without totally eliminating it, it would make SS solvent for many more generations.

And yes, let's repeal the cuts that turned the "income tax" into a payroll tax. If you're going to have an Income Tax, then all Income should be taxed!

You shouldn't get a free ride just because you're too rich to have to work!
