The lower Bush taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 were made permanent by President Obama. The 'raise' in taxes of 2% was because his tax holiday ended. President Obama lowered the amount we would be putting into social security by 2% for a couple of years so we would have more money during the hardest times. That ended. Your taxes are now paying into Social Security again.

You'll appreciate it when you get older.
