Since Obama took office my pay has increased by more then 35 percent. I like to do jobs that are performance based...

My pay is the same as it was yesterday. It's only the 3rd of January for crying out loud.

Even still, I'm not giving out exact numbers....that's personal. I'll be taking a payroll tax hit, but that's fine. It was a temporary tax cut anyway.

It is not a hike. The lower amount was a TEMPORARY (an poorly chosen) vacation from 2% of your Social Security taxes.

No chance of it going back. That is due to the expiration of the "payroll tax" holiday, the tax that funds social security. It needed to expire to avoid "crashing" SS even earlier than it is.

Just be thankful that Obama and the Dems agreed to extend the Bush Tax Cuts on 99% of the population...after demonizing them for a decade.

Republicans opposed extending the payroll tax, so I doubt you will see it drop again barring any economic crisis. It is unfortunate, since those were one of the more stimulative tax cuts.

FICA or SS & medicare was started at 1%, now at 15.3%. AND, if they didn't use the surplus for all these years, SS would still have enough money. After all, it was started at 1% and now at 15.3%.

My tax increase $150/mo. That's my food money.
