Pinching The Middle In 1976 Tax Debate
The Ottawa Herald editorial argues that both Ford and Carter target middle income relief but clash on who qualifies. It notes the growing middle class includes blue collar workers and predicts a Social Security tax hike on Jan 1, raising payroll taxes by $70.20 for those earning $16,500 or more, with employers matching. The piece says such increases won’t curb inflation or aid the middle class.
