Not liking this at all.  More like a bitch-slap to my paycheck.  Anyone else crying the blues today?  Fucking government....

What you mean tax increases?! -- According to the Bill that passed most of these people didn't have a tax increase.... It might have something to do with them shelling money to Capitol Tax Partners who in turn paid off YOUR representatives to protect THESE people.

What you mean tax increases?

Yes.  I think all of us are supposed to resume paying the full Social Security tax & the full Medicare tax but I thought that was only 2%.  I expected a 2% decrease in take home pay but my check is short by way more than two fucking percent. Arrrghhhh - those bastards!

Really fucking pathetic

Good word - pathetic. This IS fucking pathetic ~
