Thats actually a pretty good idea, IMO
The proposed solution is to remove the cap from Social Secutity contributions and have the tax apply to all income from all sources, not just earned income. In effect, this will blend Social Secutity tax in with the standard Income Tax, and extend the payers to the wealthy.
That would actually probably over-fund the system, but its not a bad idea, and best of all its pretty simple. Doubt it would fly in todays political environment, though.
