House votes to freeze Social Security payroll tax
The House approved a bill to freeze the Social Security payroll tax at 1 percent for two years. If Senate and President Truman approve, the measure blocks an automatic $2 billion annual increase starting January 1, while allowing a rise to 1.5 percent in 1950 and 2 percent in 1957 depending on progress. The current tax yields about $1.5 billion annually for Old Age and Survivors insurance. The original law aimed for a gradual rise to 3 percent over time, but Congress has kept it at 1 percent.
