All of the revenue goes to the Social Security System. There's basically not a better pain free option out there. I also agree wit paying SS on all income. I'd be with the rate falling to a lower level after the current top out point---but I think SS should be collected on all of the income. Those two changes alone probably put a huge dent in the SS underfunding issue. I'd also be fine with adding a penny to the national gasoline tax.

As social security is currently configured today, we need 2 key components to keep it viable for the next generation: 1) significant increases in job creation and 2) significant increases in legal immigration.
