    Yep, Financial officer of my company sent out a letter apologizing for the decrease in pay. Letter said something along "you may notice a slight decrease in your take home pay, regardless if you make less than 250K....another Obama lie"....pretty awesome I thought, but I'm sure he will take some heat.

    I got a 1.5% raise so I only took a .4% hit....

    Still shitty that the taxes offset a basic inflation raise.

    Nope payroll tax, taking home less, lying asshole. Would have happened either way though, both parties are only concerned about their millionaire and billionaire friends.

    Somebody has to pay for campaigns. Unfortunately the middle class gets stuck paying for the promises.

    Payroll taxes pay for Social Security and Medicare. If you want the benefits you have to pay. Else they get cut. Republicans always want something for nothing.
