THE PAY-ROLL TAX AND
OLD AGE INSURANCE
(Continued from page 4.)
tains a number of dangerous jokers.
Briefly, the social security act,
as now in etfect, works as follows:
During the present year, every
employer in the land employing
eight or more people has been sub
ject to a tax equal to one per cent
of his total payroll. This tax will
be due and payable on Jan. 1, 1937.
Purpose of the tax is to provide
money for state unemployment in
surance funds. If they lack such
funds, the Federal government
will keep the money and adminis
ter the job itself.
This tax will be increased by one
per cent next year, and another
one per cent in 1938, reaching a
maximum of 3 per cent of all pay
rolls, to be paid entirely by em
ployers.
That is one phase of the social
security act — the employment
phase. The other phases have to
do with old age insurance.
The tax for this starts on Jan. 1,
and will amount to 2 per cent of all
payrolls. Half of this will be paid
by employers, and the other half
by employes. (Maximum taxable
income of an individual is $50 per
week.) This tax will rise slowly,
and reach a top of G per cent in
1949, 3 per cent of which will be
paid by employers and 3 per cent
by workers. All of this money will
be retained by the Federal govern
ment, and will be used to retire
workers at the age of 65.
Thus, when the maximum is
reached, the social security tax will
total 9 per cen^on all payrolls, with
certain exceptions such as agricul
tural and domestic labor.
It is obvious that the tax will
bring in vast sums of money. Es
timates say that in 1937—when the
total tax will be 4 per cent of pay
rolls—revenues will exceed $1,000,
000,000. Yield for the following
year will be close to $1,400,000,000.
And. when the top figure is reached,
it is anticipated that $3,000,000,
000 a year will flow in.
And here is where one of the
jokers appears. Estimates say
that old age insurance reserves—
which must, under the law, be re
tained by the Federal government
and invested in Government bonds
—will reach $47,000,000,000 by
K»80. Today our Federal debt is at
an all time high of $34,000,000,000.
This debt, ns the U. S. News has
pointed out, must be inflated by
another $13,000,000,000 by 1080
just to provide enough bonds for
the investment of old age security
money, entirely dismissing other
holdings of government bonds.
Worst joker of all, according to
some commentators, is that under
the law, Congress could legally ap
propriate this old age security
money for other* purposes. In other
words, it is morally but not legally
bound to use tho funds for the
pensioning of the elderly. An ir
responsible Congress, convening,
say, in 1960, could spend the sav
ings piled up and the worker who
had been contributing, in company
with his employer, part of his earn
ings for a generation to assure a
financially independent old age,
would be out of luck.
Still another joker, some say, is
that if the sums involved were put
into policies providing pensions on
the same scale as those provided
by annuities sold by private in
surance companies, the individual
would get much more when he
i l eached 65. This has been disputed
1 by others, and the whole matter has
j been so befogged by argument and
I contradictory statistics that no one
really knows what the exact truth
is. The discussion of the social
security law could be continued for
pages, but it is not intended to be
exhaustive—a book would be nec
essary if that were the aim. It
seems certain that you will hear
much debate concerning it in the
next Congress, and there is a good
chance that the law will be amend
ed in a number of particulars.
