President Bush says he has not ruled out raising taxes on those who earn more than $90,000 a year to help bolster Social Security’s finances.

President Bush, Dec. 11, 2004:

Secondly, we must not increase payroll taxes, because higher taxes would slow economic growth.

President Bush, Feb. 16, 2005:

U.S. President George W. Bush suggested in an interview published on Wednesday he may be open to raising the cap on Social Security taxes paid by high-income earners.
