Ford Budget Affects Families In Varied Ways
President Ford's budget proposals reshape family finances with tax cuts and higher Social Security taxes. A four-member family earning 15 000 would drop income tax by 287 over two years while SS tax rises 45, with bigger effects for incomes at 16 500 and 10 000. The plan also boosts exemptions up to 1 000 per family member, aiding large families and elderly care, and offers tax incentives to save in stocks.
