social planners to whom the end is more important than
the means.
It aims at compulsion—everyone will be forced to
pay and pay, and be told exactly how to live. Independent
estimates of the total ultimate cost of proposed social
security programs vary from $15 to $20 billion.
The proposed Wagner bill (now-Jaefore the Con-
gress) would lead the American public along .this road.
.Senator Wagner’s bill calls for immediate taxes as follows:
6% of payrolls by the employer, l'r^ if self-employed, and
6% by the employee. A worker earning $40 a week would
pay $124.80 a year.
Even this, Senator Wagner admits, would not be
sufficient to meet final costs under his plan,. Additional
funds would be appropriated from general tax revenues.
The Wagner bill, if enacted, would completely
socialize the practice, of mpdicine in this country, and
would place under government c75htrol all of our hospitals,
ft might well develop that you w;ould have to confer with
your ward political leader about the choice of a doctor or
a hospital in event of illness.
It would federalize a large part of the insurance
business, including many established pension programs.
But it looks like the easier and brighter road—
