Whoever comes up with these media buzzwords needs to jump in a GM vehicle and drive right off that fucking cliff.
"Fiscal cliff" is hereby declared dead from overuse and lack of substance. Of course, there is no such thing. American economic collapse is all engineered, all manipulated and planned. Time to stop echoing government-induced media claptrap.

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'.
 Quoting: tandym


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.

 Quoting: Wisconsin


Where and with full benefits?
 Quoting: WAKEUPAMERICA01




Before I retired, I worked 30 hours/wk officially, although it usually ended up being closer to 40 because of all the extra work caused by "consolidating" jobs. That extra 10 was just a freebie, I even got the Union involved and the school said that my position had always been a three-quarter-time position and that it wasn't going to change, and that if I couldn't get all the work done in 30 hours then there was something wrong with ME. My position was called "3/4 time", and I got 3/4 benefits too.

The funny part about the election is: Example OH. The whole satate was red except for the city areas and that was enough to win him the election. All the libtards live around the citys. And that is where the riotswill start when things go bad. Being a libertarian I disagree with both side most of the time but the color blue is blind as a bat. Way to go Sheep Bahhhhhh

As a Baby Boomer, may I also say that if the grand plan is to disparage us to our children and kill us off early after we've worked our whole life to be able to retire comfortably, then I'll be taking whatever I have left and enjoying early retirement, and all the freeloaders, entitled offspring of hard working Americans, and enablers of these crazy ideas and lifestyles can stick it where the sun don't shine. Have fun supporting your socialist and communist crap without the Baby Boomers!

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.

Re: Welcome to the Fiscal Cliff. Just received this notice from payroll dept...
I'm not an American, but the wages they are giving as examples here are so far above what we make together as a couple, never mind alone, that I struggle to comprehend. $100,000.00 and $113,000.00 for wages... Dam, sign me up! I'd need a telescope to see those wages, based on where I am.
Can someone clarify, if this truly is considered a "base" wage, because I can assure you, that is considered a VERY high wage here.

You could demand lawful money per 12 USC 411 and avoid all of this, but that would require you do actually take a stand against all this.
