Go find your favorite source and do some reading on Barracks tax plan.

He wants to raise the top tier tax bracket ( you know people that create jobs ) from 35% to 43%. Then bring back the 50% death tax which is the most bullshit tax ever. And on top of that eliminate the cap for when social security tax stops being assesed on you ( currently $97k ). So if you are in the top bracket your tax goes from 35% to 50% !

Here is a link to the social security part of the plan:

This is on top of repealing the Bush tax cuts.

I tell you, if I could opt out of Social security and instead put that money into an IRA that I managed (What Bush and many Republicans suggested) I'd do it in a second.

This is a great example of a situation where mandatory participation in a government program is the clear loser compared with the free market alternatives out there.
