The article projects 1979 Social Security tax increases for 107 million workers, with the maximum tax rising to 1404 dollars from 1071 in 1978, and outlines how income tax cuts effective Jan 1 will offset much of the rise. It cites examples across incomes from 8,000 to 40,000 dollars, noting only earners above 22,900 face the full maximum, while higher earners see larger offsetting tax cuts.
