Payroll tax increases hit all working class Americans. Stop whining. You should have never had this 'relief' anyway.

Years ago,  Obama decided to buy votes by reducing the amount withheld from our paychecks,  funds used to pay for Social Security.  In fact,  the only non-financed money collected for S.S. comes from our payroll taxes.  Three years latter,  SS has failed to meet its annual obligations because [in part] of this reduction.  Last year,  2011,  this deficit was 47.8 billion dollars.   Understand that on the day Obama reduced this payroll deduction,  Social Security was 17 trillion dollars in the hole.   On New Years day,  Obama agreed to increase that deduction to pre-2009 totals.  While the reduction should have never been made,  still,  its correction constitutes another broken Obama promise.
