How, exactly, do you propose "paying it back"? Social Security is already a TERRIBLE deal for current workers. The only options are to either limit benefits to retirees, who are already getting more than they paid in (payroll taxes are higher now than they were before 1983), or to make Social Security an even worse deal by taxing current workers even more.

Right now FICA taxes are limited to the first 100k (ish) of pay. Increase that, or remove the cap altogether.

Just to be clear -- that would effect me, so I'm not advocating for others to pay the price.
