Now everyone, take a breath and a step back.

The politicians on both sides are going to play this in order to work you all up and then at the last minute will work something out to make themselves look grand.

It's just a shell game inside a dog and pony show.

My husband and I believe that more 'full time' workers will be reduced to 'part time' before 2013 is over in order to head off the obamacare 'tax'.

“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Until the train wreck is finished there's NOTHING we can do about it.

There is no new frontier, there is no new world, there is nowhere to escape the disaster that is government.

Fact is, the powers that were separated as outlined in the constitution have joined forces against us, and the free press is no longer bias.

The best we can hope for is for the coming disaster to begin. The only way we will be able to change any of what Washington D.C. has built is to let it implode... not one of us, including those in ivory buildings, will avoid the pain of the change to come...

Learn to live with it, and take what little dollars they let you keep and buy Gold and Silver because when the dead presidents become worthless, and they will.. he who has Gold will be the one known as FREEMAN.


I say good, let Uncle Sambo tax us into bankruptcy. It may be painful but those that sold their vote for phones, extended unemployment, food stamps, and a thrill up their leg, will be the ones who truly suffer when it all comes crashing down...

All they need do is watch what Obama doesn't do for Detroit..

I am seriously dreading what ever they finally do with the tax situation. I wish they would stop playing games and make a choice so we know what we will have to deal with next month.

I am going to have to figure in the worst case scenario and be glad if it is not as bad as I expect. I have made changes in our monthly budget to prepare for this, I just hope it will be enough.

Well, Obamacare makes it really easy now for employers to eliminate employee benefits since the fines to pay for not insuring employees are cheaper that the employer contributions if they are part of the plan.

Basically, Obama gave all these businesses a nice cost shift break to reduce their overhead in paying for health insurance.

This should help - RE: Earnings brackets
[link to www.forbes.com]




Important changes to your tax withholding amounts effective January 1, 2013

The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 that was signed into law in December 2010 will expire on December 31, 2012. What this means to you:

· The temporary 2% cut in employee Social Security withholding (from 6.2% to 4.2%) effective on January 1, 2011, will expire, and the rate will change back to 6.2%.

· The Social Security wage base is increasing from $110,100 to $113,700, resulting in the maximum tax being increased from $4,624.20 to $7,049.40.

· In addition, the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act of 2010 increases the Medicare part A payroll tax by 0.9% (from 1.45% to 2.35%) for all income above $200,000.
Other possible changes effective January 1, 2013:

Tax-related provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) also are set to expire on December 31, 2012 impacting Federal Income Tax withholding. What this means:

· The 10% income tax bracket is eliminated; the lowest bracket will be 15%. The top four brackets will change as shown below. To:

25% to 28%
28% to 31%
33% to 36%
35% to 39.6%

· Optional flat rate tax on Supplemental Wages up to $1 million in a year increases from 25% to 28%.

· Mandatory flat rate on Supplemental Wages over $1 million in a year increases from 35% to 39.6%.

The information above reflects the legislation currently in effect. If the laws change, we will send an update as early as possible in January 2013.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25720208


What are the tax brackets? How much earnings are required to fit in the below?

Thanks for the link to Forbes. After looking at it it seems to me there are a lot of middle class that will get boned, as the threshhold of jumping from the 15% to the 28% bracket will drop from $72,500 to $60,500. That's gonna leave a mark on a lot of two income families for sure.

Yes they will. And then Obama will declare "part time" is really more akin to "full time" and magically the unemployment rate will go down.

I'm not even joking.

This is what I think Obama will do to get his one-payer fully socialized medicine into effect. He will suddenly declare 20 hours or some such as full time and require employers to insure even those working that amount. It will then force even more out of business and cost more jobs but I don't think he even has a clue as to cause and effect.

When he said he had 7th grade math, that may be the one time he told the truth.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy
