Yes, I know. Everyone will see some increases in their taxes. But those earning less than the FICA limit are taking a nearly 50% increase on their FICA tax which they probably weren't expecting if they bought the media's lies about Obama protecting the middle class. People earning over the FICA limit will be hit somewhat with other additional taxes and a phasing out of certain exemptions and deductions, etc, and those earning over $450,000 will also be hit with a 12% income tax increase on the earnings they cannot protect.

Luckily (for them), most of the congress critters, the ruling class, and the higher paid bureaucrats and government workers, etc, will barely be touched by any these increases.

it is entirely possible that Senator Byrd was the very last member of Congress to not pay Social Security ~ but he's dead Jim.

Congress critters do pay SS, etc. just like everybody else ~ been that way since 1987.
