I get insurance payment which is 66% of my job income. Which makes it so I fall under the 50 thousand mark this year at least.

Here is a statistic from up here in Canada:

Middle class earners pay 42 percent of their incomes in federal, provincial and local taxes. This is up 1,500 percent from the 1950s, while it exceeds food, rent and clothing costs COMBINED.

Those tax increases in the U.S. will not do any good, no matter what liberal or Keynesian says. All this is going to do is take money from the private sector and fund more wars, the president's billion-dollar lifestyle and wasteful spending!

Interesting if a bit ignorant, As our president is not Kenyan, Liberal,. or a Billionaire. And is in the process of ending two wars he did not begin, has not started a new one, and seems somewhat concerned over doing so in the future.

Still, I am confident you are well versed in the realities of a country you do not live in.

Keynesian is a form of economics named after John Maynard Keynes. He was not referring to the President being a Kenyan

The increase in taxes many are currently seeing and panicing about, is actually the return to the 6.2% SocSec it was a few years ago.

There has been a change in Fed withholding also.

Why is anyone surprised? Did someone actually think it would ONLY affect those mean nasty rich people?

No need for that sort of language here. We strive to maintain an intellectual and respectful environment here.

Not the kind of discourse I want to see around here. It usually leads to flaming, trolling, and fighting.
