中产阶级还是坠了一半的崖

Social Security 税率从4.2%涨到6.2%，奖金，期权税率从25％涨到28％。公司毫不含糊得执行鸟：

”To: All US Employees

As you are aware, Congress reached a deal over the New Year holiday to avert the fiscal cliff.  The Social Security tax rate of 4.2% was not renewed as part of the deal.  Therefore, all wages paid after January 1, 2013 will be taxed at the old Social Security tax rate of 6.2% up to the taxable wage limit of $113,700.

The supplemental tax rate for bonuses and stock options increased from 25% to 28% for wages up to $1,000,000.  For wages over $1,000,000 the rate changed from 35% to 39.6%.“

加上今年医保的大幅上涨，好几千又打了水漂。无论政客咋玩，血总是出在中产阶级的身上。
