Mills plan hikes Social Security taxes in 1977
Brookings studies show payroll taxes are the second largest source of federal funds after individual income tax. The Mills welfare reform bill would raise Social Security tax from 5.2 to 7.4 percent by 1977 and lift the wage base to 10,200 next year, increasing deductions for workers. The proposal, likely to pass House, targets low and middle earners and imposes year round payroll deductions with employer matches.
