    You must not have read the thread or the WAPO link that shows why the left isn't able to escape from their leftist propaganda.

    The only ones screwing the middle class. Are Democrats.....as they didn't want to give them any tax cuts.


    But then I knew you wouldn't cop to either reality.

    You're not paying attention. You're blinded by the MSM and it's extreme liberal bias.

    if you like your tax refund you can keep your tax refund

    republicans lied, this was a corp tax cut, not a middle class tax cut like it should of been

    So are you going along with the others who believe the a higher refund means you paid less taxes?

    It is impossible to please all the people all the time. Life is like that. At least those paying more are at the upper ends of the income spectrum. I assume that is what the left wants.

    Small percentage of returns have even been filed much less reports on taxes paid, but you just know Trump bad.

    If rates are reduced and deductions commonly used by the middle class double, most will get a reduction in taxes.

    Witholdings changed automatically for most early in 2018 and they were then taking home more of their pay, in many cases, too much more and now they're surprised to not get the big refund they got before and want to immediately claim they are paying more taxes.

    They aren't sure what they want. If it was Trump's doing, it's automatically bad.

    Trump's supporters not happy

    "‘I trusted you!’ Trump voters seethe after realizing they’re getting screwed by the GOP’s tax plan"

    https://www.rawstory.com/2019/02/tr...alizing-theyre-getting-screwed-gops-tax-plan/

    'Even though the 2017 GOP tax cut is leading to spiking federal deficits thanks to its generous benefits to corporations, many middle-class Americans are winding up having to pay more because the bill eliminated multiple deductions used by middle-class families to lower their annual tax payments."

    But it cut middle class tax rates that makes no sense. Why do you want a tax refund? All that means is you paid to much above your tax liability.

    That "article" (and I use that term loosely) is focusing on SALT deductions. Those folks need to take it up with their local politicians. It's not up to the rest of the country to subsidize states with exorbitant SALTs.
