That's so logical. Say we wanted to have universal health care. We could raise the Medicare payroll tax to 10 or 12% and pay for it.Yet, no one wants to pay that, so we pretend that the government can just 'tax the rich'. Social Security is facing the same problem of under funding, but it's not the amount of the tax, it's the number of people paying for each one collecting.
