TAX INCREASE

WASHINGTON Neither President Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney is talking about it, but come January, 163 million workers are going to see a pretty big tax bite regardless who wins the election. A temporary, two-year reduction in Social Security taxes expires, and good luck finding anyone in Washington who wants to extend it. For a typical worker making $50,000 a year, it will mean a paycheck that is about $83 smaller each month. Six-figure, two-earner families will pay as much as $4,500 more in Social Security taxes next year. By Stephen Ohlemacher.
