because too many people out there just don't realize the reason their paycheck went down was because the payroll tax holiday was over. It wasn't a tax increase, it was just the end of a tax break.

Wingnuts are making a huge mistake if they think it's proof that we're on the same side over tax cuts. We are absolutely not on the same side, the left wants a more progressive structure to raise revenue from people who can well afford it while providing a disincentive to the naked greed we've seen since Reagan screwed up the tax code.
