Funny thing is a person i work with who is an avid Obama supporter, was PISSSSSED on friday when her paycheck was $30 short. She got so angy and we were like , dont you pay attention to the news? The payroll tax break you have been getting for the last 2 years was removed, Obama (and congress) voted for it and signed it into law.

This wholle "I will not let taxes go up on the middle class" just meant he wouldnt raise their individual income rates. he was 100% behind letting Bush Tax cuts expire which is increasing taxes. its how Washington works and double talks.

Now, that being said, i support the 2.3% increase because its robbing peter to pay paul if we let it stand. It should have ended. But the look on her face when we explained it to her was priceless. It was the "I DIDNT VOTE FOR THIS". OH YES YOU DID
