Washington panel pushes for social security tax hike
House Social Security chair James Burke says Congress must raise payroll taxes this year to protect the 31.3 million beneficiaries, opposing the Ford admin plan to wait until after the 1976 election. Weinberger cautions against new taxes before 1977, while deficits loom and trust funds risk depletion. Burke hints at raising the wage base or tax rate, with potential impact on high earners and funding shortfalls through the early 1980s.
