Thanks Obama and the US Govt

$45 more tax per check (given I just got my first 2013 stub)...$90 a month....$1080 a year....$20500 until I am eligible to retire from state of MS (making the ridiculous assumption it doesn't double before then or that my income matches it's increase...yeah right huh)....

[regishay]

technically no they did not. That is the same rate you have been paying for years. They just reduced it a couple of years ago to help the economy out instead of sending out checks and now its going back to its normal rate.

well I don't like it, whatever it is

It's all good, you just need an EBT card

No that will never work... Tax paying citizens who are responsible don't get crap. I mean the girl covered in tatooes, with a fancy hairdo, and fancy nails in line in front of me at the grocery store had, why can't I have one??

So what you are saying is that the economy is in such great shape now that we can afford to allow the working man to bring home less money? To some degree (I'll let y'all split hairs) Obongo has lied to the middle class. If its deducted from my check and its not going into my retirement fund, it's a "TAX"!

[skywalker]

Mine is $140/month. What u complaining about?

[the tree]

Thats simply your social security deduction returning from 4.2% to 6.2%. Dont worry, its capped at $117,000 annual income. With consideration to the demands on the social security fund, I can never understand why the 2% reduction was ever considered.

[khound22]

It doesn't matter, the SOB said the middle class wouldn't have their taxes raised, PERIOD. He and the liberal democrats LIED AGAIN!! I will be contributing around $120 MORE per month to the parasites who live off me and I am furious!

[the tree]

Khound22, you earn $72,000?

Our Tax policies are so flawed it's unreal. I don't want to start anything, but if we really wanted to tax "fairly," it would be a flat tax across the board that EVERYONE pays into.

I'm all for it bring it on, as then it would be fair across the board!

[the doctor]

Technically and politically speaking no one raised taxes they simply let the reduction expire. Rate has not been raised just back to what it was ...gonna be a hard sell to most folks though. Especially the self employeds that pay in both portions.

I beg to differ! Having one son, and twins in the oven, $40 a week is a lot of money to me. I would rather have it now because I know that SS will be a thing of the past if I live long enough to draw it. That's $40 I can't spend on diapers, groceries, or my water bill. Yes that's just $40 mine was a lil more when I got my stub thurs. Not stirring the pot but some of us don't make 6 figures. That's still a lot of money to a dumb broke SOB like myself.
