Social Security Fund Permits
Uncle Sam To Build Reserve
Fund That Earns Bond Profit
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON UP) Do you
social security tax you pay into
There are arguments over how
there is no sign that the present
The arguments will be outlined
briefly here. Hut, first, here is
the background.
If you're covered by the pen
sion plan, you and your boss each
pay yearly one percent of your
salary up to the first $3,000.
That's a total of two percent
you and your boss pay. The gov
ernment now Is collecting yearly
about S1.8D0.000.000 that way.
Out of that, it's paying yearly
In pensions and other benefits
about $700,000,000, leaving a year
ly reserve of around $1,100,000.
000. Since 19.17. when It first started
collecting this tax. the Social Se
curity system has built tip a re
serve of around $11,700,000,000.
The money doesn't lie Idle. Con
gress said it should be invested
In government bonds, which now
pay around 2 1-8 percent Interest.
So the Social Security Reserve
fund, invested in those govern
ment bonds, is earning money. So
much for that for a moment.
The government has a debt of
$255,000,000,000. It got into that
debt mainly in the war and de
pression days.
That's w hen the cost of running
the government far exceeded the
money It was able to collect,
mostly in income and corporation
taxes.
So, as it got further and further
Into debt and needed extra mon
ey to keep going, it borrowed
money.
It did the borrowing by selling
bonds to banks, life insurant ?
companies, you and me, and to
the Social Security Reserve fund.
On all the bonds it sold, oi
course, including bonds sold to
the Social Security Reserve fund,
the government must pay inter
est. .
Double Taxation Apparent
So the government has a double
Job in handling that debt: to pay
off some of the debt while at the
same time paying Interest on it.
The man and his employer who
pay a total of two percent social
security tax on the man's first
$3,000 of salary, also pay income
taxes.
And part of their income Is
used for paying off some of the
interest on the debt including
the interest on the government
bonds bought by the social secur
ity fund.
Crllics of the present system
say this is double taxation. They
suggest that the old-age pension
plan be placed on a pay-as-ou go
basis, which means:
Instead of collecting enough so
cial security taxes every year to
pay out social security benefits
for that and still have enougn
left over to build up a reserve
that can be invested in govern
ment bonds, the government
should collect yearly from the
people in old-age pension cover
age enough money to pay the old
age pension expenses for that
year.
Those In favor of the present
system argue If the government
had borrowed from banks or oth
er privale organizations, by sell
ing them bonds, the government
would have had to pay interest

ever wonder what happens to the
the old-age pension plan?
that tax money Is handled. But
system will be changed
on them anyway. So part of the
income tax money paid bv peo
ple who also pay the social se
curity tax would have had to be
used in paying off the interest on
the bonds no matter who had
bought those bonds.
