Obama in favor of raising social security taxes

Well thankfully he has no shot in hell

I agree this is a dumbass idea, but I think it's probably better than just letting SS go busto, which seems to be the plan of all the other candidates. Oh wait, the plan of all the other candidates is to "save social security", which never includes what they are going to actually do about it.
The alternatives of cutting benefits or raising the minimum age to collect SS are going to be less popular with the electorate than raising taxes on the rich (since the majority of people make <97k and the vast majority of them don't understand that most of the cost will just be passed down to them anyway) and so there you have it.

Wow, this is another example of government thinking Americans can not make decisions for themselves.
