Yes, I am interested in Social Security reform. The first thing that should be done is income over the current $91,000 income limit should be included in the FICA tax. Right now, income exceeding $91,000 does not contribute to Social Security.

Here's how you reform Social Security: Get rid of it.
I hate to sound like an insensitive jerk-wad, but Social Security essential rewards people who do not work and makes people who do work pay for it. Before SS, people who were truly economically disadvantaged received money from private charities that were more able to discern between people who actually needed aid and those who were just lazy. This lack of "free money" was a great motivation for people to actually get jobs and improve their economic standings. It also did not act as a draw for illegal immigration.

No the social security system is fine the way it is. The only people interested in changing it are corporations that don't want to pay for it and corrupt republican politicians who they bribed and are their mouth pieces.
