The National Center on Policy Analysis released "Reducing the Social Security Benefits Tax" by Stephen J. Entin, a member of the advisory board for Cato's Project on Social Security Privatization. Discussing the 1993 provisions making up to 85 percent of Social Security benefits subject to income taxes, Entin says, "Repeal of this portion of the tax on Social Security is an important step because the peculiar method employed to tax Social Security benefits imposes some of the highest and most destructive marginal tax rates in the entire tax code."
