Senate Finance panel debates Social Security tax hikes
The Senate Finance Committee meets to decide how to fund increases for 27 million Social Security beneficiaries. Chairman Russell Long says decisions on higher taxes will wrap up the panel's work on the welfare reform bill, with a draft ready in about two weeks for floor debate. The panel favored a 10 percent across the board boost after rejecting 20 percent on a 7-7 vote, but Long says 64 senators back the higher figure. President Nixon may see a 20 percent hike in the final bill sent to him, though Mills advocates five percent. The bill links annual cost of living raises to a 3 percent index rise, and the current tax base is set to rise from $9,000 to $9,000 with a rate to 5.65 percent next year. The House-passed version would raise the top tax to $550.80 in 1973 by expanding taxable earnings to $10,200 and setting the rate at 5.4 percent. A worker’s tax is matched by the employer. In separate news, Valerie Yvonne McLennan of Illinois State University will represent central Illinois in Miss Illinois, July 19-22 in Aurora, as the first Black winner of Miss Heart of Illinois.
