"The two-year payroll tax holiday is over, so take-home pay will go down -- around $2,000 less a year for the average wage earner as the rate went from 4.2% to 6.2%."
Um....2% = $2,000? Since when is the "average wage earner" making $100,000?

Doesnt it go from 4.2% to 6.2% for both the employee and employer. Thats how it works in the UK. Ie that would make the average wage $50k (still seems high)
Yes many cronies got their breaks extended while we serfs got ours eliminated.
That $2000 would be spent so much better in the private economy than letting the gangsters in DC use it to purchase votes.

Apparently 2013's taxes applied to this check.
