Obama's economy: middle class = living on welfare, rich = having a job

Back when we were just a little younger and a lot less jaded, we helped a family we knew through our church. They were so totally the typical generational welfare. The wife of this family actually told me once that we could afford to buy things for them because mr gomezclan was working and her husband was not. That was the beginning of the end of our involvement with them.

As far as taxes, im not looking forward to seeing my oldest sons' first 2013 checks. They are 18 and 19 years old, both single.

Just saw my first pay stub of 2013, and I was all excited about my insurance premiums dropping $60 a month, only to find that my social security taxes increased $80 a month...FML

Ha ! I was waiting for one of these to show up. More taxes and higher prices on everything you buy to survive. Welcome to Obama and Bernanke's New Amerika !

Yup, SS back up to 6.2%

Employee share of the payroll tax that pays for Social Security will revert to 6.2% on January 1, 2013. For the past two years, the rate has been reduced to 4.2%. The max taxable earning limit has been increased from 110,100 to 113,700 as well.


When you retire Social Security will give you a print out of every dollar you and your employer paid into the system. Your monthly check will be determined by that amount. When I retired I was paying 7.5% and the company was paying 7.5% for a total of 15% on my print out. In my retirement money the company held out their part of the15% money they had paid. So that reduced the amount of $ I got for retirement.
Every year you paid 4.2% means you paid in less money and that is less money the government will pay you on your Social Security check each month.
I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
