anybody who has just hit like $100,000, I mean the maximum. What is the maximum amount of earnings right now subject to the tax?

This would literally turn at least a good chunk of Social Security into more of a general welfare program.

the solution here is to really kind of break with the original concept of this being a you pay into the system and you get what you pull out...

the maximum amount of earnings right now subject to the tax? $168,800, I do believe.
