    First full paycheck of the year, with a 3% raise my check is exactly one cent smaller. This takes in account a small insurance increase at work as well.

    With my 3% raise and slight sleep time bump (50¢ an hour) i made pretty much exactly what i did before the tax increase. My pay is variable depending on the time of day we are out on calls though...

    I was downsized in August and set up my own freelance company in December 2012, so my income has gone from bupkis to nada :sad:

    Your talking semantics here. Anytime money comes out of my check and into the governments hand, it's a tax. Social security is not a savings account anymore, it is used as cash flow by the government. They will have long spent the money I have invested when it is time for me to collect, and they will probably have to borrow the money from China when they return the money that I have payed into the system.

    I know it is still considered a tax. I'm just saying it is not an increase. We were paying this much before. It was a temporary deduction. Everyone knew this was coming.

    This is why I don't understand all the comments complaining about it.
