You are joking aren't you? Do you really believe the only people who make over 250K a year are male and white? Or even the final 400K threshold. They are only male and white? I can't fathom that Obama or Democrats would be advocating that.

SS taxes went up because the payroll tax holiday expired. You could blame the Republican Congress for this, since the holiday was Obama's policy, and supporting its extension would have essentially given him credit for lowering taxes. Basically cutting off your nose to spite your face. Regardless, if you want to receive SS benefits, decreasing the amount going into the trust fund isn't a good long-term policy. There's no free lunch.

As for insurance, you should probably ask your employer why rates went up. My rates have stayed the same this year for the first time in a while.
