JayS, AWD, Political Crew: Why do we cap SS tax?

12k a year scholarship,
1 parent who makes <30k a year so I get $5k a year from TAP
$4k Federal Pell Grant
$1200 Federal ACG Grant
$5k/year Stafford loan

I go to NU. The loans in my name, and I obviously receive no money from my Mom towards tuition (unless you include the TAP).
