Biden, Obama, Edwards Would Raise Social Security Taxes; HRC Won't Say
By
On Social Security:
Biden would raise taxes above the first $97,000. So would Edwards, although with a slight variation.
HRC won't say what she'd do -- she doesn't want to negotiate. What's on the table? Off the table? She'd establish a commission. A very cautious answer.
Obama: "I think that lifting the cap is probably going to be the best option." I.e, taxing more than the first $97,000.
Dodd and Richardson won't commit.
