Washington Eyes Large Increases for Social Security Taxes
The House committee endorsed a plan to more than double social security payroll taxes over 20 years to fund a bigger old age and survivors program. Tax rates rise from 1% to 2% for employees and employers by 1954 and continue rising to 3% by 1965 and 3% for both sides by 1970, with the taxable base expanding from $3 to $2,600 next year. The move would lift annual collections from about $2.5 billion to around $6.5 billion by 1970, and the bill should reach President Truman by late next week.
