Happy New Year and happy payday! Thank
goodness our “lord and savior” Obama signed the
fiscal cliff bill into law after proudly proclaiming,
“Under this law, more than 98 percent of Americans
and 97 percent of small businesses will not see their
income taxes go up.”
Promises, promises.
While PolitiFact will likely rate Obama’s statement“Mostly Swoon,” around 70 percent of Americans are
going to pay more taxes in 2013. If you like your
payroll taxes (and even if you don’t), you can keep
them and pay two percent more than you did in 2012.
Earlier this week, many Americans realized the “fair
share” fiscal cliff deal didn’t seem so fair. One
Democratic Underground commenter was a little
behind yesterday and was shocked — shocked! — to
learn that the fiscal cliff crapwich didn’t extend thepayroll tax holiday. (They don’t call ‘em DUmmies for
nothing.)

“What happened?” he asked. “My paycheck just went
down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable
with. I guarantee this decrease will hurt me more
than the increase in income taxes will hurt those
making over $400,000.”
How’s that class warfare working out for ya, pal?
Yep, elections have consequences, and here’s how all
those cries of “Eat the rich!” are working out:

As the first pay period of 2013 comes to a close,
employers are being forced to ring in the new year by
explaining why their employees’ checks are smaller.

Indeed, some employees are baffled by their
shrinking paychecks.
American workers are feeling the pain, and it’s
definitely not just the rich.

And you know whose fault that is, right?
Of course. But there may be one silver lining in all of
this:

Update:
It seems many more Americans are simply baffled by
the change in their paychecks.
How many voted their way to a smaller paycheck?

Its shocking how if its a tax increase,
twitchers just automatically assume its the
Marxist Obama's fault. Look in the mirror
Twitchers. This is a bomb the GOP threw.
Nah, not really shocking.

The expiration of the payroll tax cut
was something republicans insisted on during
the fiscal cliff negotiations. Now the GOP has
the balls to blame the president? Typical GOP
hypocrisy. It was either let the 2009 PAYROLL
HOLIDAY that the GOP HATED when it was
passed expire or take away the child, school,
and personal tax deductions from income taxrefunds. Do you really think democrats wanted
to remove the payroll tax cut THEY PASSED
IN 09? Bunch of stupid republicans talking shit
like always. Give us a democratic house &
you'll get that tax cut again in 14.
