just checked my work email and found this gem:

To: All Employees

In the absence of federal legislation extending the 2011 employee social security tax rate cut, 2012 social security tax rates for employees will increase from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent effective Jan. 1, 2012. As a result, ******** employees will see their tax deduction rise in 2012.

The U.S. Congress is still considering proposals that may extend the reduced 4.2 percent rate. Employees will be notified of any changes as soon as the information becomes available.

The Social Security Administration recently announced the maximum amount of wages subject to social security taxes will increase from $106,800 for 2011 to $110,100 for 2012.

The Medicare tax rate of 1.45 percent is unchanged for 2012. There is no limit on wages subject to Medicare taxes.

If you have any questions, please contact the HRCC.

i'm pretty sure you'll see house republican's fold before the weekend but i'd gladly pay a few $ to see them slit their own throats over this.

Yup. This is real. Not a joke, nor something just happening off in Washington people don't really have to pay any attention to.

it's working for us. it won't happen but i really wish there was a way to prevent the house from reconvening to accept the senate bill.

i almost feel sorry for boehner. outside of obama, he has the hardest job in washington.

he made a bad call on this. he's constantly watching his back for the inevitable challange to his leadership and he's probably guaranteed it now.

he has to fold. take a bullet. at least if he had taken a stand against the right and accepted the senate bill earlier he could have avoided the damage to his own party.

They will reconvene Friday morning, and Boehner will simply allow a vote with no advice to his caucus. It will pass. Boehner will frame it as a Christmas Holiday Gift From the Republican Party To America.

But he's tearing the GOP brand apart, and the Dems are already making the ads for the 2012 election cycle about "Republicans raise taxes"

The truth shall prevail. Spending cuts (HUGE) is the answer rather than spending to prevent bankruptcy!

Cut the Gov. by 50% and see how far trillions go to solving our problems. We/ve tried everything else and it doesn't work!

keep the faith.

if you find something similar there please post it. i'll have to admit my deception.

in the meantime, roughly 40,000 employee's got that email. i can't say for sure there were more elsewhere but i suspect other corporations operate under the same rules.

i'm fine with this. roll with it.
