huKSer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 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 Link to comment
Undone Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 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? Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 My Social Security tax rate went up. Mine and my wife's paychecks went down. Link to comment
MichiganMan Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 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 1 Link to comment

strigori Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 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. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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.
