Why was the payroll tax cut allowed to expire?
The payroll tax increase means that families will lose up to $2200 per year -- that's a loss of $40 a week.
American families CANNOT AFFORD THIS.
I would like the White House to explain why the needs of ordinary Americans were ignored during Fiscal Cliff budget negotiations. The President promised to keep taxes low for the middle class. This payroll tax increase is an insulting breach of the president's promise.
It's not too late: President Obama, take a stand for the continuation of the payroll tax cut. This tax directly affects the financially struggling Americans you claim to want to help. Stop allowing Republican members of congress to bully the White House with regard to taxes on low and middle classes.
