It's a payroll tax deduction. So it only goes to wage and salary earners, not people who receive money from trust funds or investments.
People who receive money from trusts and investments enjoy a much more favorable tax rate than wage and salary earners already.
For example, a trust fund baby who gets 500K a year for winning the birth lottery, pays about half the tax that a doctor who works at a hospital and makes 500K a year in salary does.
