    So now a great many of our leftists are scrambling to move the talking points goal posts from "You are all going to pay in more unless you are wealthy!" to "Okay so regular people ARE making out quite nicely after all but Eventually . . . some day . . . in the far, FAR distant future there might be some economic repercussions"? Sweet!

    (Scratches head) Well, according to many leftists he is destroying the United States by being a patriot determined to put this nation first, control the borders, destroy ISSIS, ramp up the national economy, and -- most evil of all -- endlessly beat the Dem Party's hapless leadership like a drum.

    Republican caused recessions are expensive to fix. The 2008 crash was the worst recession in 80 years.

    Good point. I’m glad I don’t have to subsidize high state tax blue states anymore. That’s another plus!

    So you came closer to having the right amount deducted by your employer and lent the US Treasury less money during the course of the year. Good for you.

    The highest goal and best thing for a taxpayer is a zero refund and owe nothing.

    if the lowest unemployment in 49 years, meteoric economic growth, and illegal aliens living in fear of the legal consequences to which they are subject constitutes destroying the country, then he should keep destroying everything in sight.

    what he has destroyed is the stranglehold the political establishment has had on our government for the last... well, forever. and you can see the results... “help wanted” signs all over, employers tripping over themselves trying to hire people, new cars selling at the fastest rates in decades...

    The best I can do? Trump's fixing the house that Obama nearly broke. Sorry for your luck!

    Not all of us have kids. Some prefer free time and more money to having kids.

    Your kids will also pay the 10 trillion dollar debt racked up by Obama. Try to minimize that as you no doubt will try.

    No democrat has proven a case proving Obama turned it around. Same way they never proved Bush put the economy into the tank.

    Tax owed is what counts. The rest is up to the individual.

    Morons can't understand the difference between refund and taxes owed, yet think they're smart enough to vote

    I use to be able to plan to pay the most additional amount without incurring a penalty but with my situation these days I get refunds.

    The recession was 2/3's over when Obama moved over to the White House. The job loss rate bottomed out the month he did so and began to recede. The recession ended before any of his stimulus was put in place. And the unemployment rate instead of peaking at 8% as he said his stimulus would do soared to 10% and stayed over 8% for the next four years while the LFPR went over the cliff.

    Democrat myth.

    Tax reciepts were higher this year, so your statistic is FAKE NEWS

    The economy is doing amazingly and it is going to push Trump to a second win. Thank god, my business and my finances have been loving his first term so far.

    Pretending recessions magically turn around in a few days is just economic ignorance. It took time to reverse the effects of the republican caused recession, which was the worst in 80 years. It’s also quite expensive cleaning up after republican incompetence
