Could Tax Increases Help Social Security?

As we’ve reported previously here at NORA, many people are concerned about Social Security. One reason for these concerns is that the program is set to run short of funds within a decade.

Many solutions have been suggested to address this issue, but options are admittedly limited. Changes usually involve reducing benefits or increasing taxes. Some say that taxes on high-earning individuals could be used to make up the difference for this program.

This article by Lorie Konish of CNBC talks about how a switch at the top of the tax bracket could impact Social Security.
