The problem with the payroll tax cuts expiring (which they should) is that the lower middle class will lose $1K-2K a year becuase of it. The rich will barely be affected by it. In other words, the rich made out great in this "deal" while the middle class gets kicked again.

Democrats/Obama should have found a way to replace the tax increase for the middle-class with something else.
