    I don't mind paying higher taxes. What I mind is republican "tax cuts" that only the rich benefit from.

    I'm not even sure you actually have an accountant. The Jackson Heweitt girls with the tables at Wal mart aren't accountants.

    So how many righties did you express doubt about, when they claimed their premiums tripled under the ACA?

    That was my point.

    Mine doubled and that's a fact. I was one who was paying for my own policy.

    I'm not an accountant. I'm just relaying what myself, and millions of others are experiencing since the trump tax cut.

    I've never claimed to understand the tax system. I'm just pointing out that myself, and millions of other middle class americans have an increase in our taxes this year.

    Then you apparently need to make a career change. Think of all the money you could be making, since you are smarter than CPA's, lol.

    Shouldn't that hold true for federal tax payers as well?

    Taxes should not be punitive based on the whims of the party in leadership. Focus on Democrat states was not based on need...it was plain ol stick it to them mentality.

    It may seem to many that Democrats focus too much on the wealthy...but that is where the money is. Not a particular state or political party.


    Please let me hear a hard-luck tax story of people making over 10,000,000

    No, they are complaining about their refunds, which does not equate to paying higher taxes. Most were not complaining about taking home more of their pay throughout the year.

    I paid about the same taxes as last year. I would have loved a tax cut.
