I saw someone on FB today (no idea of this person's party affiliation, and I don't care) who was absolutely shocked and stunned that her check went down today. "I thought this wasn't supposed to happen to people making under 400K"
Pfft.
Interestingly, one of the response comments said: "That's Capitalism".
Pfffffffffffffffft.

My admin came in today, eyes wide open, and ranting away a mile a minute because her paycheck was smaller.
Doesn't anyone pay attention? It's not like you can escape all the news either on the tube, in print or on the web.

No need to pay attention, only those making a million or more will be affected.
I am surprised at the fact that all my friends are rich.
I've already got contingency plans. My folks gave me a nice Christmas cash present (cripes... I shouldn't have said that.. now that will get taxed ), and put it in a reserve account to cover unexpected shortfalls due to the new taxes and FICA payouts. I keep a minimum of one years property tax in reserve. Since it was 'found' money, I won't miss it.
I do feel for those who do have to live paycheck to paycheck. These new payouts can be significant.

Mine went up $300 for a month.
Increase money that goes into your retirement (IRA, 401(k), etc.) which will be less money going directly to the government. You can also increase your federal tax exemptions. For instance, if you claim HoH and 1, bump it to two. This will offset a little from FICA to your federal.I don't get paid until the 10th. I'm worried.
