The piece argues President Carter should resist a large payroll tax hike tied to a Social Security rescue. It notes projected $227 billion in increases from 1979 to 1987, their inflationary impact, potential job effects, and the possibility of funding Social Security from general revenues rather than payroll taxes. It also references Vermont bank dividends, WPA projects, Vermont blue law setbacks, and a December 15, 1952 context.
