While raising the cap on what employees pay raises the maximum benefit, it wouldn't necessarily be that way if we simply removed entirely the cap on the employer's share of FICA. If a megabank wants to pay some scum-sucker $10 million to run the thing into the ground, shouldn't they be forced to pay 6.2% on the whole thing?

No, it wouldn't raise a terrific amount of money, but it's one of several steps in the right direction.
