Private Plans Help
Few of us could even hope
to accumulate the estates es-
sential to give us the monthly
incomes that payment of our
social security taxes guarantees
we will receive when we retire.
What's more, millions also
are accommodating impressive
retirement incomes under pri-
vate pension plans; it's esti-
mated that "a per cent of the
population is covered by private
pension programs now.
Millions Of others have insur-
ance programs that will increase
their retirement incomes, too;
| in 10 families have life in
surance coVerage today and
many have annuity and SINH
lar policies.
And a growing percentage Of
us have reserves in cash, United
States bonds, stocks, other in
VestmentS which will help us
in retirement.
We are, in fact as well as
theory, creating an economy in
which the person working to-
day and contributing to public
pension and private retirement
programs can look forward to
retirement with confidence that
he or she will not need to de-
pend on family or charity for
support.
We are doing it by taxing
ourselves on an increasing
scale. Under the new law, the
social security tax on each en-
ploye will be 21a per cent on q
maximum of $4,000 annual
earnings, or $500 a year-and
his employer must match that
amount. And this tax will climb
steadily in coming years, is
slated to hit a top Of $216 a
year by 1869.
Benefits Increasing
The full impact of the extent
to which benefits and taxes
have climbed comes through
when you study a record Of the
changes made just in the past
10 years. Consider these high
lights:
In 1919, as an employee, you
paid a l per cent social security
tax on a maximum $4,000 OF
yearly earnings, a minor con-
tribution. Your top benefits
were minor, too - at most
