Social Security council backs higher wage base to 24400
J Henry Smith of Equitable Life says Social Security is sound and its administration is first class. The advisory council, urging a rise in the taxable wage base from 14100 to 24400, would cover 93 percent of workers, with critics warning it shifts more burden to high earners and private pensions. Smith opposes the move, arguing it violates the three tier concept and private plans should fill the gap for substantial earners.
