    How would the gradual payroll tax increase from 6.2% to 6.5% affect your take-home pay, and do you think the benefit increases justify that cost?

  2. 02

    What are the trade-offs between raising taxes on higher earners by phasing out the earnings cap versus increasing taxes on all workers equally?

  3. 03

    How might removing the earnings cap by 2035 change Social Security's long-term solvency compared to other approaches like raising the full retirement age?
