Social Security boost eyed without tax hike
Washington officials floated a plan to slow trust fund growth from payroll tax receipts to avert large future tax increases. Secretary Elliot Richardson indicated support for changing actuarial accounting to cap trust fund buildup, potentially delaying a 1972 tax rise and easing a 145.20 wage tax increase. The approach would keep overall tax rates low while preserving benefits, with the 5.2 percent rate rising to 5.4 percent next year and 7.4 percent by 1977, though implementation awaits broader approval.
