State taxes double as taxpayers complain of rising levies
The Bipartisan Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations reports state taxes grew from 15.8 billion in 1959 to 29.4 billion last fiscal year ended June 30. A mix of new sales and income taxes and higher rates drove the rise, challenging the idea that states need more revenue for services. The findings could affect Congress on federal revenue sharing, with Johnson favoring grants over matching funds.

Organization Gap The Kennedy Path To 1968 Power
Joseph Alsop argues the Democratic drift in 1968 stems from an organization gap between the White House and state leaders. Kennedy’s potential candidacy looms as a plea from governors notes, while Truman’s reminders fail to offset a rudderless party. The South proves perilous. the North-and-West coalition may hinge on a unified moderate challenger. The core issue is broken liaison between White House staff and local leaders, leaving Kennedy and O’Brien at odds with a dormant party machine.

A Better Way Widening Social Security Tax Pain
James Kilpat rick argues that the 1967 rise in Social Security tax is a painless yet real dent in workers pay, shrinking real wages as the system shifts from true insurance to a looser definition. He notes rising maximum tax figures and warns of future growth, urging workers to scrutinize the change and its long term impact.
Buchanan Campbell plan for Social Security reform proposed
The piece discusses a reader letter on Social Security reform by Professors James M. Buchanan and Colin D. Campbell. It outlines issuing general obligation bonds to fund the debt, making the trust fund actuarially sound, reducing taxes for young workers, and allowing voluntary withdrawal from the system. It notes Barry Goldwater’s earlier voluntary-system ideas and argues the plan could attract broad support and help workers under 39. The column then reflects on Sen Paul Douglas’s financial disclosures and the costs of public service, stressing the need for capable, modestly funded figures in Congress.
