Show Social Security Taxes up Jan. 1st Social Security taxes have become a greater financial burden to the average family than Federal income taxes. This conclusion was reached in a report issued by Utah Foundation, the private nonprofit tax re- search organization. calculates Foundation show that an average family of four persons with an annual income of pays approximately per year in Federal income taxes. The combined Federal Social Security tax that will be paid by this family head and his employer next year will amount to Wfi2. or more than the Federal income $5,500 $170 tax liability. The report indicates that for a person earning $6,600 a year or more. Social Security taxes will total $554.60 in 19(56, with the employee and employer f each paying the cost. This represents an increase of a!)'- over the maximum combined Social Security tax contribution of $.548 in 1965. Foundation analysts observe that he increase next year will be the tenth time that Social Security taxes have been raised since the program was inaugurated thirty years ago. When one-hal- I the Social Security Act was passed in 1935, the maximum combined tax was $60, with scheduled increases calling for an eventual combined tax of $180 raised materially by the 1965 S. Congress to finance the new Medicare program and higher Social Security benefits. The rate, which must be paid by both employee and the em- per year. The Foundation study points out that next year's Social Security tax hike will not be the last. Still to come are additional increases scheduled for in the law for 1967, 19(59, 1973, 1976, and 1987. Eventually, the combined tax rate will reach 11.30". 15.65', to be paid by the employee and 5.65', by the employer', with the combined maximum Social Security tax total $745.80 per pear. This amount is nearly 12 V4 times the original maximum Social Security tax of $60 that was in effect between 1937 and 1959. FedThe disparity between eral income taxes and Social Security taxes is greater in the case of large families which pay proportionately less income tax on the same income. Furthermore, the report indicates that the disparity will also be greater in the future when the additional Social Security tax hikes are scheduled to go into effect.
