Your article is a bit "dramaqueenish" and takes too long to get to the point. Of course, any real taxpayer knows what happens with their SS contributions - they go to the current oldsters' monthly payments, and the excess funds the oldsters' monthly payments.

While most people see this 1/3 cut as more money, it doesn't make a damned bit of difference to people making over the max withholding; it'll just take a little while longer to make that freedom point. What this really is, is a tax cut for middle and lower income people who will never reach that withholding maximum. It isn't rocket science.

I do think that the taxable earnings cap at 106,800, same as 2010. So, you (or any max payer) will save 2 per cent on that, or a bit over $2,000.
