wrote in : "Obama to push for higher Social Security tax" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21739271/ So expect your paycheck to get smaller. Nov. 11, 2007 But during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama said subjecting more of a person's income to the payroll tax is the option he would push for if elected president. He objected to benefit cuts or a higher retirement age. ... Currently [2007], only the first $97,500 of a person's annual income is taxed. The amount is scheduled to rise to $102,000 next year. Obama also invoked his friend, billionaire Warren Buffett, who Obama said has expressed concern that he pays less in Social Security taxes than anyone else in his office. "And he has said, and I think a lot of us who have been fortunate are willing to pay a little bit more to make sure that a senior citizen who is struggling to deal with rising property taxes or rising heating bills, that they've got the coverage that they need," Obama said. So it would appear that Obama proposal would result in the wealthy assisting in funding seniors. |
