i'm gonna guess you make less than $250K/year so the difference is due to the end of the "payroll tax holiday".

the payroll tax holiday was instituted by obama, not bush. that articled lied to you.

so that brings back the social security share of employees from the 4.2% that held during 2011-2012 to the original 6.2%

problem is, obama proposed continuing it but boner rejected it because it adds to the deficit, and some democrats were also against it because this is money that goes into social security.

so, in the obama vs. boner comparison, BLAME BONER, THE PRINCE OF ORANGE, FOR YOUR INCREASED FICA RATE.
