House approves large Social Security tax increase plan
The House backed a major Social Security tax rise with a staged earnings limit relief for retirees aged 65 to 72 reaching 4000 next year and 9000 in 1980. Critics warned of windfalls for high earners while proponents said retirees must work to maintain living standards amid unchanged benefits for others. The second amendment preserves public employee and lawmaker exemptions, and the tax remains 5.85 percent with a 965 maximum at 16500 wages.
