Robert Eisner delves deep into the issues surrounding Social Security, outlining his proposal for a significant change in the program—one that goes beyond meeting the program’s forecasted financial needs, to expanding its value for many citizens. Eisner rejects the most alarmist views about the solvency of Social Security and provides a blueprint for keeping the system strong and fair. One change he proposes for increasing efficiency and equity is paying benefits out of general income taxes instead of current payroll taxes. Such a reform would shift a greater share of Social Security's financing burden to those who can better afford it.
