Wake up, Juni. Methinks you are taking the Kamala Kool-Aid. Tax refunds are lower, because people get to keep more of their earnings from their paychecks.IP: Logged |

Randall is right about why tax refund checks are lower this year.  Fact Check: Democrats Are Misleading Americans About Their Tax Refunds
JOHN CARNEY
12 Feb 2019  Democrats looking to score points against President Donald Trump this week focused attention on data from the government that showed refund checks going out to early filers were smaller than they were a year ago. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) falsely claimed that smaller refunds indicated that the tax cuts amounted to a “middle-class tax hike.” The smaller refund checks, however, were not indicators that taxes have gone up. In fact, two-thirds of American households got a tax cut this year. For middle-class families with children, over 80 percent got tax cuts.
A smaller refund check merely indicates that early tax-filers overpaid their taxes by a smaller amount throughout the year. In other words, taxpayers kept more of the money they earned — that is, money they did not owe to the federal government....

I wasn't talking politics but people.
People who have found that the small amount in their weekly is less than the amount of their refund loss. Therefore, it wasn't a benefit to them. I don't know what deductions they lost but it appears to be a good amount of lower middle class affected. ------------------

I don't know of anyone that would apply to, except for those in high-tax states who lost some of their deductions for state and local taxes.IP: Logged |

Money is nice. No lie. Even the Christ didn't have much of answer for Question #3.
We don't have a nation, or a people. But they tell me finances are good, so there's that.

I've been hearing about trump supporters who aren't happy with their taxes. The last one I heard about, said she owed money, and this isn't why she voted for him. That was the last straw for her. Not the racism, not grabbing ******* , not the selling out our country to Russia, or the million other things that are wrong with him and his presidency - no, it's that she owes money to the government.IP: Logged |

Hillary is the racist, with her KKK mentor and pandering to African-Americans with a fake Southern accent and hot sauce. Hillary sold out the country to Russia by giving them our uranium. And we know about Bill's rapes.IP: Logged |

Nope. I’ve just seen another post. A trump supporter blaming Nancy pelosi for his smaller tax return. Blind faith, and stupidity are no different. It’s funny how you will insult a fellow trump supporter once they say they are done with him. They gave him so much support, and their votes, but if they suddenly have a problem with him in any way, they are what’s wrong, not him (in your eyes). IP: Logged |

Wrong. Trump defended nazi’s, and looks to Putin for instructions. IP: Logged |

That supposed tax situation was probably fake news, so I didn't mind poking fun at it. President Trump never defended nazis.IP: Logged |

It's The Economy, Stupid!
~Bill Clinton Campaign..1992~Poll: 58% of Voters Approve Trump Economy Ahead of 2020
MICHELLE MOONS
11 Apr 2019 American voters were concerned about an economic downturn in a Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service poll that found 58 percent of voters approve of the president’s performance when it comes to the economy. Registered and likely 2020 voters from both sides of the Republican-Democrat aisle were surveyed in the “Battleground Poll” from March 31-April 4 that reached 1,000, according to NBC News. Of those, 59 percent expressed concern about the possibility of an economic decline. However, 58 percent approve of the job President Donald Trump is doing when it comes to the economy. The report noted that the president has been relatively consistent at a 55 percent overall job approval rating....
