[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I don't usually scream on this forum, but [b]THIS IS NOT A TAX HIKE YOU MORONS[/b].

Bitching about having to pay payroll taxes once again is like waking up on December 26 (and 27 and 28 etc.) and bitching because Santa didn't come AGAIN.

Your paycheck isn't "increasing" it is "returning to what it would have been if Obama hadn't given you a tax holiday."

And by the way, if you're on this forum, you can afford it.

If you earn enough to stop paying in to SS before the ned of the year, you are rich.

You're being totally disingenuous.

For three years (two years of the payroll tax, one year with make work pay), payroll taxes have been lower. Now they are higher. You can argue that it was only a "holiday" and you would be right. But it is similarly true that the "holiday" was intended to put more money into people's paychecks so they'd spend more and stimulate the economy. Naturally, people become accustomed to having that additional money. It's been more than 1,000 days now since taxes were at a higher level. So it's understandable that people are surprised and complaining a bit. I can't remember what my paycheck was like 1,000 days either. Can you?[/quote]
