The fiscal Clif hit me HARD
My wife works 25 hrs a week in home care her gross pay is $275.40 for that 25 hrs. Last months deduction for federal tax was$11.92, this month was $23.28 that is an increase in federal tax of 95.3% ?? Last month Soc. Sec. deduction was $11.55, this month Soc. Sec. deduction was $17.07; that is an increase of 47.79%. I thought I heard that there would be no increase on taxing the middle class which we are almost in at about $50 k a year. Without the $11k my wife earns a year our income would be low enough for reduced lunch for our children at school and I would not have to pay for DSHS health insurance for my son. So what is going on?
I would like to know what was the federal tax deduction on President Obama's check for last month and what was/is the federal tax deduction on this years. He did say our taxes would not go up and I thought at the last moment the senate and house passed a bill that would maintain our tax rates at last years rate and NOT increase taxes by 95.3$ !!
