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

I say no. Judging from what the average person knows about economics and finance, I just see loads of money being thrown around foolishly, artificially inflating crap and devaluing worthwhile securities, and brokers shafting people with sneaky fees. Then those who lost it all would be looking for bailouts. I would give them a choice of high, medium, or low-beta portfolios, and that’s it.
