Charlie Green, pictured as an imaginary and^< sentative taxpayer, will not be as far ahead' in 196&*Ss he thought he would be when the last federal individual~"htcome tax cut went into effect. That's the sad news that comes oijr way from folks who make a study of taxes. ... i-.- .Based . on • statistics, he paid $978 in 1965 as »"Te^ult of the second stage of the tax cut, or about $78 less in federal tax than he previously paid. At this point the picture changes, for Charlie" knows that almost $2 more per week is being deducted from his pay check for social security and medicare purposes in 1966. --Out of his $10,000 annual salary in 1965, he paid $174 in StfCfal security levies. Now the F.I.C.A. (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) payment will be $277.20 to anyone earning--in excess of $6,600, the new maximum under the act passed - last year. The former maximum^Was $4,800. Eleven years ago, when Charlie, married and the father of two school age children, was earning $6,800, he,,j)aid only $84 in social security. This year he will have $25.20 less take-home pay because his OASI (Old Age and Survivor's Insurance) payments will increase while his salary and tax.payments remain the same. Of course, there is the possibility of an additional cut of some $1.7 billion in excise taxes during 1966 due to the Jl§65 reduction of those taxes. On the other hand,if proposals to change the unemployment compensation laws are pas!s£&"&hd go into effect this year, an additional load of $60 million would be placed on the nation's employers. " " i Should all these "ifs" occur, one of the state's?'lading tax groups thinks the picture would look something like this: Tax hikes, $5.1 billion; tax cuts, $1.7; increase, $3.4.v "" eprelfftQ Ck-.. ^r WA©@N 695 V-8.
