Sen. Barack Obama says Social Security taxes need to be revamped, and
he's proposing a hike aimed at wealthy Americans.
But he said he would consider raising the cap on the Social Security tax
- currently imposed on earnings up to $97,500 - or creating a so-called
doughnut hole that would reinstate the tax once income hits a certain
level, as Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards has proposed.

It took a couple of tries, but CNN "American Morning" co-anchor John
Roberts got Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama to admit what
people probably already knew - Obama wants to raise taxes.
On the issue of recession, Obama said he wasn't concerned with what the
technical definition is. He said he was more concerned with how people
"feel," which is the same sentiment CNN senior business correspondent
Ali Velshi expressed on the October 18 "American Morning."
