I asked the question because it wasn't clear from your post what you're seeking in terms of "fairness." I'm sorry you inferred that as an insult.

As I stated, you and I and Larry Ellison have our income taxed by the same percentage -- roughly 15% between Social Security and Medicare, about half that borne by our employers -- up to a certain level and receive benefits on a basis up to that level. Anything above $127,200 doesn't apply; it isn't taxed and benefits aren't paid. So the relative fraction of total income is irrelevant.
