This removal of the cap would help social security remain solvent by bringing in more money from those wealthy individuals who have reached the limits and no longer pay in to it. Surely those whose income is high enough that $110,000 is taken out for social security, they can afford to continue to have it taken out once they go beyond that figure.

Republicans in Michigan are pushing "right to work" legislation under the guise that it is about freedom of association. We should extend this concept to all associations. Therefore, it should also be voluntary to pay Michigan state taxes. The government should welcome this as it will allow them to better respond to the needs of their residents.

A MICHIGAN RESIDENT SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF OBTAINING OR CONTINUING RESIDENCE TO; PAY PROPERTY TAX, FEES, ASSESSMENTS, OR OTHER CHARGES OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND OR AMOUNT OR PROVIDE ANYTHING OF VALUE TO STATE REVENUES; REFRAIN OR RESIGN FROM MEMBERSHIP IN, VOLUNTARY AFFILIATION WITH, OR VOLUNTARY FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF STATE GOVERNMENT.

right to form and join unions, without having to sign pledge cards and have to do it again after employer harassment , job termination and other anti union busting schemes. A pledge card needs to be signed once and that should be enough.

I am self employed and pay 15% of everything I make into Social Security and Medicare. I will have difficulty retiring at all if these vital programs are cut. I grew up in the military and worked for the military for a short time and have witnessed first hand how much waste of money occurs in this department of government. I've also read how the military budget has now doubled in size so that 40% of all military spending on the planet is done by the United States.

Currently, Americans pay Social Security payroll tax only on earnings below $110,100. That means that people with high income pay a much lower tax rate than those with low income. Eliminating the cap will greatly increase Social Security revenues, and allow it to continue much longer into the future. Republicans in Congress say that they will allow federal revenues to increase, not by increasing tax rates, but by eliminating loopholes. The cap is a loophole that has hobbled Social Security. It is inherently unfair. Let's eliminate it now!

The Flash Crash should be seen as a shot across our collective bow. High Speed Trading can go out of control within 10 minutes and 70% of our economy could evaporate, because of it. One of the more moderate suggestion is to place a SETEC on those and other trade transactions. If Wall Street created the economic mess should we not be talking about re-instating a SETET (Security Exchange Transaction Excise Tax) both on within company internal trades if money goes outside our boarders and external trades on all US exchanges. Which would be better for the market a bunch of new regulations to stop flash crashes caused by automated trading on the high speed system or a 1% to 6% SETET to make these high speed trades less lucrative and slowing the that traffic some. While producing income deficit reducing for the US Government. Shouldn't we turn to those who caused much of our deficit help pay down those deficits?

Because you have allowed the IRS to be used as a debt collection agency. ISAC has put me in a position where I cannot afford to have the dental work done or afford medical insurance. This is why the IRS should be used ONLY to collect taxes.

We need to restore workers rights.

The Federal Reserve Board can, and should, act now to help the struggling U.S. economy, using powers it already has and has used in the past.

WHERE WAS GROVER NORQUIST WHEN MICHIGAN GOVERNOR RAISED TAXES FOR REAL? Right-to-Work FOR LESS is union-busting and the data proves that IT IS BAD FOR AMERICA.

The continued stalemate on the issue of terminating Bush Tax Cuts for the rich and irresponsible behaviour of the GOP elected members of the House will no longer be tolerated by We The People.
