Under the original law, the serves would have amounted, paper, to something like fifty lion doilars by 1280. 2. The reserves would have come cut of the nation's business the payrolls of workers and the capital of employers. 3. But business neceds the hun- dreds of millions it would be pa ing out annually in stepped up so- cial security taxes. It needs them 10 produce more business and to create more jecbs NOW 4. Furthermore, some 80 per cent of the nation’s woskers a; fying for cld age benefits, or the number originall get in under the wire. 5. Since so great a proportion of the taxpay®rs'is ‘paying the social seeurity .bill, and since the entire natjon;is supposed to be benefiting from the broad principle of se- curfty '‘for ' the' aged, 'then why shouldn't the taxes be , spread around later “on instead of being taken exclusively, as they now are frém employers and employes as a tlass of citizens? 6. If the social security tax bur- den is to be spread around, it might as well be absorbed by the Government's' géneral funds 'which ure obtained from all taxpayers. 7. Astimé goes on'and the pen- sicns cost more, the government could thus c¢hip in' from the gen- eral fund a social security trust fund, which would be added to the TRServes 8. Such a setup recognizes as in- evitable a steep increase in the cost of social securty as more and more people retire nizes the inability or unwillingness of the present taxpayer to absorb his share of that cost. 9. Therefore, the present changes would limit future costs to em- ployees and employers—as a class —to the payment of 10 per cent of peyrolls. = After that the Gevern- meant kitty would be tapped 10. And when Congress starts hit- ting the gereral ‘kitty—~assuming that , it will-there’ll ‘be talk of more taxes of a general nature to help pay the bill. .
