Proposed Provision: Make all earnings subject to the employer OASDI payroll tax beginning in 2011. For the employee OASDI payroll tax and for benefit calculation purposes, the taxable maximum would equal the present-law taxable maximum for years 2010 and earlier. Beginning in 2011, the taxable maximum would be raised each year by an additional 2 percent over the current-law, wage-indexed amount until earnings subject to payroll taxes equals 90 percent of all covered earnings.
