Social Security Pays More And Takes More
The Social Security system has grown into a huge, tax funded umbrella for over 94.5 million workers and retirees. Congress boosted benefits by 10 percent while delaying a tax increase until 1972. The payroll tax will rise to 6.05 percent by 1987, with base earnings up to $9,000 next year, and benefits now reach 26.2 million recipients with an average monthly payment around $131. The system funds itself through payroll taxes, investing trust funds in government bonds, and faces ongoing debates over budget treatment and future automatic increases tied to cost living.
