Problem:
We got our first paychecks for 2010 today. To our disappointment, our taxes went up. It affected our take home pay enough for the loss to equal three months' rent over a year.
This comes after the State of the Union address, where President Obama explicitly said taxes would GO DOWN for 95% of Americans. How did we fall in the chosen 5%?
Solution:
?

do you mean your federal withholding went up or your social security and medicare went up?
last year many people had decreased federal withholding because of the making work pay credit (more take home pay each week to stimultae the economy). your paycheck may have just reverted to previous year's withholding for 2010 and could very well be refunded to you at the end of the year.
anyway, yeah...
