Demos Study Hike in Taxes
House Democrats consider a 1 percent hike in social security tax to fund proposed benefits for older women and disabled workers. Ways and Means discuss how to pay for the plan as they enter a fourth day of closed sessions. Proposals to raise eligibility to 62 and to allow work for disabled workers could cost about 2.2 billion dollars annually, with a half percent added to both worker and employer shares. Current 2 percent workers tax, plus employer tax, would rise as scheduled to 5 percent in 1960 and 1 percent every five years until 9 percent in 1975, shifting 4 percent to 9 percent.
