Because - someone - went on and on about "Compare your 2017 to 2018 to see what the REAL effect of the tax cut was - you'll know!!!!!" 3rd decile income bracket https://wallethacks.com/average-median-income-in-america/ 2017-2018 Taxable income - up 5.3% Tax owed before credits: Down 10.6% Thank you, Mr President.
Thank you Mr. President while you're destroying my country. Sort-a like Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burned.
I love to click on the debt clock time machine in the top right corner, it really puts debt in to perspective! Bottom line, Mr Obatard sux'd fat chub and was a debt adding dolt of a President!
Mine is what I thought it would be. I paid near the same. Most people who did well were poorer than me.
Same, I sat with my tax guy two hours and after it was all tallied I owed the treasury $196 bucks! My accountant looked sad and apologetic and I told him "Kudos bro!" best outcome in years, and then I bought him sushi for lunch
Don't worry, your kids will pay the bill. 100% of your tax cut is borrowed money. Trump and Wall Street didn't even bother with the usual BS about his tax law being anything but a borrowing binge this time. At least, we didn't have to hear the trick down/tax cut your way to a surplus like we had to with Reagan and Bush Jr.
Then nothing has changed since Mr Obatard.. Stay the course right, no pissing and moaning about the poor children while he was top spender but now at a fraction of what the last turd added it's all concern for the children LOL
What was Obozo's excuse? He nearly doubled the national debt in 8 paltry years.(75%) Don't give us your stimulus/cash for clunkers/Solydra excuses either.
Yeah mine dropped also. I actually owed a couple hundred when I did my taxes which is a first, outside of the Obamacare fine, but my checks are considerably larger so it makes up for it.
I believe that will be the last tax year to asses the fine. So thanks Trump for that, too! I’m sorry you are forced to pay it. I was able to poke them back in the eye and not pay it. Felt good.
The deficit doubled in Trump's first full budget year, and is expected to top a trillion this year, and for every year until the mid 2020's. And that is assuming that the White House's rosy (and as yet unrealized) growth numbers work out. So, something has obviously changed. Spending went up, and revenue went down. That leaves borrowing. Which is something every GOP President since Gerald Ford has proven to be very good at.
Look at that, Trump actually got the left to care about the national debt. Or at least pretend to. The Orange Man truly is a worker of miracles.
That's a pathetic deflection. No Republican President has run a balanced budget since Calvin Cooldidge (except for a one year period in 1969). Federal employment went down during the Obama years, and deficits shrank during his terms. The opposite is already happening withTrump (not that he cares). After eight years of listening to hypicrites on the right bellow and whine about deficits and spending ,you're all twisting your necks to look the other way and try and pretend that what your fuhrer is responsible or even smart.
I griped about the deficit through the Obama administration and I have continued to gripe about it. How about you? Did you complain about it through the Obama administration? By the way, the revenue went up in 2018. The deficit was not due to the tax cut. It was because of spending too much.
