Senate panel approves big payroll tax rise for Social Security
The Senate Finance Committee backed a plan to shore up Social Security with a higher payroll tax on employers and a smaller but rising tax on workers. Benefits for older retirees are limited to earning caps, while federal workers and general revenue use are dismissed. The plan decouples benefits from inflation by raising the wage base and adjusts tax rates, aiming to rescue the trust fund through payroll taxes.
