Carter Proposes Eight Point Social Security Tax Plan
President Carter unveiled an eight point plan to bolster Social Security by raising employer and high income taxes. The proposal ties some general revenues to Social Security trust funds when unemployment tops six percent and hikes the wage base ceiling from sixteen thousand five hundred to higher amounts by 1985. It also shifts funds between Medicare hospital insurance and old age disability funds and raises self employed rates to seven and a half percent. The plan ends a provision allowing dependent benefits if a spouse is not dependent.
