Mills Bill Proposes Higher Social Security Tax Ceiling
Christian Science Monitor notes Rep Wilbur Mills introduces a bill to tax personal earnings up to 5400 a year, up from 4800. Administration spokesmen link this to Medicare for the aged, but observers warn the measure would underwrite only half of Social Security’s long term deficit and may hinder Medicare prospects. The current payroll tax is 7.44 percent, rising to 9.44 percent in 1968. Medicare would add at least 0.25 percent initially.
