Q—W’ity is social security com
pulsory?
A It is difficult for most peo
ple to provide for their owm pro
tection against the major eco
nomic hazards of life on a strict
ly individual basis. Additionally,
I if social -security .were a volun-
I tary system, the people who are
' in most need of the px'otection
■ would often fail to participate
because of financial or other rea-
.sons.
Q—I understand that benefits
are paid to qualified workers
i age 72 or older without regard to
! their income. Considering that a
man has paid in ‘‘thausands of
; dollars" by the time he’s that
[old, won't he be lucky if he only
gets a "few hundred” from social
Police Report
Two Accidents
city police reported two acci
dents during the past week, the
first occurring Tliursday, Augu.st
12, at 7:40 pjm. at the intersec
tion of York Road and East flold
Street.
Danny Guy Mitchell, 19, of 313
South 'Thompson Street, Shelby,
was charged with driving a car
with improper brakes following
the accident in which a total of
$1,800 in damages were reported
security?
A—An individual who worked
for maximum covered wages
since the start of social security
would 'have paid in $1,926.00 up
to! January 1, 196o! if he were
sclf-employ(Hl, $2,2.32.90.
If he became 72 in January of
196.1, he. .would receive $127.00
per month ($l,.124.fX)) for the
year 1965; $190..50 per month
($2,286.00 for the year) if mar
ried and wife is 65 or older. Al
so, he and his family were af
forded protection against loss of
j Income due to his retirement,
I disability, or death prior to age
I 72. To most folks who are 72, it
I .seems like they have paid in
several thousand dollars; and, of
course, folks who become 72 in
the future will have paid a little
; more because of the higher tax
I rates.
Q—[Why are benefits paid to
those who don’t need them- such
! as rich people?
1 A—Since the program is based
1 on insurance principles, those
I persons who have worked, paid
i social security taxes, and are
. insured, are eligible for benefits
regardless of their financial cir-
I eumstances.
