Okay, but a $10m salary isn't really "super rich". That's just "rich". Also, getting a salary doesn't tend to go hand in hand with "indolent". The actual indolent super rich billionaires don't tend to get a taxable salary, or claim a low taxable salaries. Bezos claims a salary of about $80k. Tesla claims a salary of about $24k. I don't think Gates even gets a salary anymore, nor much of the Walton family. Billionaires live on non-taxable lines of credit taken out against their stock values. So, while you might be raising the social security percentage on high end entertainers, doctors, lawyers, millionaire business owners, etc., who do work for their money, indolent super rich billionaires living off stocks and options will still pay jack shit into social security.
