I don't know where the figures come from, but there are more than 5.6% of taxpayers earning more than $97,000 a year.

Besides...we aren't talking about income tax. We're talking about Social Security - which is NOT a fair tax in the least (regardless of whether you like SS or not).
When you are talking about SS taxes, you are basically talking about a payroll tax based on income. Half paid by you and half paid by the employer.

I have my own opinions of the payroll taxes like social security, but what do you mean by it not being fair? Not fair to whom?
