Happy New Year! Your payroll taxes just went up.

Even if the fiscal cliff deal (aka crap sandwich) is enacted, your payroll taxes will increase. Aren’t you excited?

Two bimbets on @msnbc don't know that payroll taxes go up for all earning less than $113k? Middle class got screwed. @msnbc @JoeNBC

Despite all the good news this morning. The expiring payroll tax cut means a HH with $50k income gets a $1000 increase in taxes annually.

So our payroll taxes increase by 2% and Obama says the middle class isn't affected. #cutthespending and stop increasing taxes WTF

Max Baucus says the tax deal approved by the Senate prevents an increase in tax rates for middle income Americans. It raises payroll taxes!

Something to keep in mind when the politicians blather on about “extending tax cuts to 98%” of Americans.
