Social Security Tax Increase Restricts 1982 Wages and Costs

The change adds to business costs and pressures prices while critics say it undercuts Reagan tax cuts and delays reform. The piece notes Congress and the White House have not resolved inflation indexing or early retirement benefits and rely on transfers from Medicare funds to ease the immediate shortfall.
