Obama lies - - - again

[huKSer]

Got my first pay check of the year - and it was down $100. I figured out I'm paying more taxes. And no I am not in the top 1%.

 

So much for leaving the middle class out of tax hikes

A neutral comment - is it possible that your company pre-adjusted its withholding amount in anticipation of the "cliff" situation but will soon adjust it back down?

My Social Security tax rate went up. Mine and my wife's paychecks went down.

[MichiganMan]

social security taxes went up 2%. the break on that went down but your overall federal taxes stayed the same. I don't mind paying a bit more into Social Security or Medicare

I wish my checks were 5K like HuKSer

Hell, I dont understand him talking about taxes. I didnt think drug dealers and prostitutes paid taxes.

What did Obama do to make your taxes change like that?

[strigori]

The Social Security tax holiday expired, as it was always intended to. Part of the stimulus plan was a reduction in the rate to 4.2% from 6.2%. It was not the income tax rate, which is what the debate was about.

Yes - I knew that. I was stirring the pot with the "Bush lied" crowd

A poorly stirred pot, though. There's ample evidence that the $100 you're on about here is a direct result of Republican nonsense.

Politicians lie. That's how they got into office.

Sure.

And, pray tell, how do you attribute that to republicans while letting Obama and the dems off the hook? The two links I followed both made reference to Obama claiming "if you make under 200k your taxes will not increase". I might be crazy but I'm pretty darned sure most Americans aren't going to equate a 2% payroll tax increase, on the firsts 113k of earnings with their taxes not going up. Ironically, if you make less than $113k, your taxes increase 2% but, if you make $200k, your taxes only increase a bit more than 1%. So when Obama doesn't keep his word, blame the repubs. Typical.
