They go up automatically because the original Bush tax cuts were temporary. All that happened 2 years ago was that they were extended for 2 years. There was no way Obama was ever going to sign off to make them permanent.

for working two jobs and carrying a huge tax burden to fund my future
Social Security benefits.
