Plain-English Summary
The proposal would increase Medicare and Social Security taxes on high-income earners by applying these payroll taxes to investment income like capital gains and dividends, not just wages. Currently, these taxes only apply to earned income up to a certain cap, so wealthy individuals who earn most of their money from investments pay a smaller percentage in these taxes than wage workers. The change would affect primarily high-income individuals and could increase funding for Medicare and Social Security programs.
