Listen to the case made by Mrs. Arden Perhats, 63, of Barrington, Ill. She recently sent me a copy of her rebuttal to the Worth Magazine article. The letter says, in part:

'During our most productive years, when my husband and I were raising and educating (in parochial schools) our four children, we were in the 49 percent tax bracket.

My husband, as a small-business owner, paid Social Security taxes both as an employer and employee.
