The Times, in their sly way, are trying to point the finger at employers -- for deducting "too much".
Fact is, the Obama administration changed the withholding tables -- so as to reduce withholding. But they didn't change the tax tables. So you still owe the same amount of tax, but not as much was withheld against your liability.
This was Obama's idea of "a tax cut".
Well, that doesn’t surprise me. 0b0z0 seems to be what you people down there call “all hat and no cattle.”
