Pension Poor
BY C. J. HARRIS
It may be of no direct con-
cern to Canadians but there
should be great interest here in
the ten-year record ofpre-elec-
t i o n tinkering with the Social
Security pension program in the
United States. In every other
year since 1054 -- that is, in
every year of a congressional
election -- changes have been
made in the U.S. public pen-
sion program. Ten years ago
the maximum annual pension
contribution was $112. It is
now $348. If present pre-
election proposals are enacted,
it will immediately increase to
•410, and will he raised to
$518 in 1971.
The Social Security pro-
gram, like the proposed Cana-
da Pension Plan, is a wage- re-
lated scheme based on equal
contributions from insured em-
ployees and their employers.
When it started in 10:37 the rate
of contributions for the U.S.
pension was two per cent on the
first $3,000 of earnings, or a
maximum ,annual contribution
of $60. The act provided for
gradual increases up to a rate
of six per cent. As noted above,
however, every recent election
campaign has brought promises
of extended benefits -- and, of
course a corresponding increase
in costs. The act now provides
for a rate of contributions of
9.25 per cent on the first
$4, 800 of earnings, and it it
proposed to raise this to 9.6
per cent on the first $5,400 of
earnings, or a maximum annu-
al contribution of $518.
As most recently proposed,
the rate of contributions for the
Canada Pension Plan would be
3.6 per cent of the first $5,000
of earnings, or a maximum an-
nual contribution of $180. The
first year cost of this new pen-
sion tax is estimated at $600
million; this, of course,
would be additional to the cost
of the eeisting Old Age Secur-
ity pension, which is $900 mil-
lion in the current year.
Welfare Minister LaMarsh
has acknowledged the danger
that political parties will try to
buy cotes with promises of
higher pensions. As a control
the government proposes to tie
the Canada Pension to living
costs, with pension increases
litnited to increases in the cost -
of -living index. In all trtith,
that suggestion seems totally
inadequate. But if pension
costs are not controlled, the
worker -- particularly the
younger man with children to
raise and a home to buy -- will
find himself pension poor.
