did the middle class finally catch a break?

The decrease in social security tax from 6.2% to 4.2% for 2011 nets $1000 cash in pocket for every $50,000 you make as an individual.

Yay.

Although I support a lot of what has been happening lately, for ONCE I feel like something the government is doing will DIRECTLY benefit me.

Just also found out at work that we will be getting performance based raises shortly with the increase to start 4/1. Come on 6%!
