BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — While the tax package that Congress passed New Year’s Day will protect 99 percent of Americans from an income tax increase, most of them will still end up paying more federal taxes in 2013. That’s because the legislation did nothing to prevent a temporary reduction in the Social Security payroll tax from expiring. In 2012, that 2- percentage-point cut in the payroll tax was worth about $1,000 to a worker making $50,000 a year. The Tax Policy Center, a nonparti- san Washington research group, estimates that 77 percent of American By Lou Sennick, The World households will face higher federal At 9 a.m. New Year’s Day, lots of revelers head into the cold waters at Sunset Bay State Park to ring in the new year with an annual Polar Bear Swim.

Households making between $40,000 and $50,000 will face an average tax increase of $579 in 2013, according to the Tax Policy Center’s analysis. Households making between $50,000 and $75,000 will face an average tax increase of $822. “For most people, it’s just the payroll tax,” said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center. The tax increases could be a lot higher. A huge package of tax cuts ﬁrst enacted under President George W. Bush was scheduled to expire Tuesday as part of the “ﬁscal cliff.”The Bush- era tax cuts lowered taxes for families at every income level, reduced investment taxes and the estate tax, and enhanced a number of tax credits, including a $1,000-per-child credit.

“In essence, if you are Catholic in this country you no longer can own a company,” Frank O’Brien explains. O’Brien, a St. Louis distributor, is one of more than 42 plaintiffs suing the federal Department of Health and Human Services over its mandate that forces employers to provide health insurance that includes access to contraception and abortion services. This controversial Obamacare regula- tion threatens the religious liberty of not only Catholics but also evangelicals and others with objections of conscience to any of these policies. “By means of this mandate, the Obama administration has mandated that no Catholic can own a business and provide health insurance to their employees without crip- pling fines,”O’Brien says.

Cities and FRANK AND ERNEST stores are either banning them altogether or opting for paper, instead. For the past 30 years, I have dutiful- ly recycled my bags, but now I’m hanging on to my dwin- dling stash. It may not sound politically or envi- ronmentally correct, but those EVERYDAY suckers come in CHEAPSKATE handy — THE BORN LOSER especially when traveling. That’s why I was excited to read Gail’s Mary tip. I’ve Hunt popped one in my ZITS purse, but I barely notice since it’s practically weight- less! POP-UP PLASTIC BAGS.

It’s great for acne and keratosis pilaris and way cheaper than any face wash I’ve ever seen. Just remember to moisturize LUANN afterward because baking soda can dry out your skin on its own. It’s also the best substi- tute for shampoo, especially for curly hair, since products with cetyl alcohol or glyc- erin can steal much-needed moisture from curls. I use it as a very wet paste or mix it with honey and scrub my scalp every other day or so, following with a vinegar rinse (one part white vinegar GRIZZWELLS to nine parts water, or one part apple cider vinegar to three parts water). This restores the natural acid pH of my hair. It doesn’t foam or lather, but the baking soda lasts forever if you keep it sealed.

However, the increase in payroll taxes will hit nearly every wage earner. Social Security is financed by a 12.4 percent tax on wages up to $113,700, with employers paying half and workers paying the other half. Obama and Congress reduced the share paid by workers from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for 2011 and 2012, saving a typical family about $1,000 a year.

As part of that law, a new 3.8 percent tax is being imposed on investment income for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and couples making more than $250,000. Together, the new tax package and Obama’s health care law will produce significant tax increases for many high-income families. For 2013, households making between $500,000 and $1 million would get an average tax increase of $14,812, according to the Tax Policy Center analysis.

Poor shooting, particularly from 3-point range (5 of 29, 17.2 percent) and the free-throw line (13 of 29, 44.8 percent) doomed the Clippers’ streak, the longest in the NBA since the Boston Celtics won 19 in a row from Nov. 15-Dec. 23, 2008. The Clippers avoided matching their season-low in points when Eric Bledsoe hit a jumper in the final seconds. “Throughout the course of the game, it’s tough when you’re missing shots, but at the same time you have games like that and you have to figure out how to get around it, which we didn’t do,” said Blake Griffin, who had 12 points but shot less than 50 percent from the field (4 of 11) for the first time in 18 games. “That’s the result of a game like this. We did a poor job defensively and that carried into our offense with missing shots. It snowballed and just went downhill.” The Nuggets, of course, had something to do with that and Andre Iguodala said the victory against the Clippers, who built their streak in part with a Christmas Day win against Denver in Los Angeles, would help the Nuggets build “our confidence, our swagger. “The Clippers have been playing with that the last 18 games.
