So we had USMB liberal members LYING about how smaller tax refunds are a BAD THING.

No, it's a good thing because you are GETTING MORE IN YOUR PAYCHECK so OF COURSE your return is SMALLER.

Fuck all liberals.

 

[TNHarley]

They are completing ignoring logic when they bitch about that.
It makes zero sense.

So, taxes didn't really go down all that much then? Withholding apparently did though.

You go with that..... I see the panic in conservative republicans over this tax season. Real panic.

If you get a big tax refund, you should raise your hand high and slap yourself in the face for giving the government an interest free loan for a year.

The regressive inflation tax greatly outweighs the few dollars in your paycheck.

The working class got a tax increase in that GOP tax bill. Not a decrease. The GOP adopted chained cpi into their tax plan. Which is a method of measuring cpi that understates inflation's effect on the standard of living. They run wiith the 'full substitution' gag.

I other words, if Americans buy hamburger because they can't aford steak anymore, since inflation has caused its price to rise, by using chained cpi it is assumed that Americans would have bought hamburger instead of steak even before inflation made it too expensive. So, again, they roll with the full substitution gig. so they can report rainbows and unicorns instead of reality. And they know people don't generally understand it, that's why the fuckers do it.

So, they've effectively legalized lying to Americans about the effect of inflation on their standards of living. They're lying about the extent of the actual inflation by using chained cpi to purposefully understate its effect.

Your purchasing power is shot.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Silly nutters.

People have come to expect a refund as a sort of forced savings. They didn’t save the meager pay increase that some got and they were not adequately informed about the withholding table changes.

So, they have not FELT the tiny tax cut. It hasn’t worked for them.

Who would have thought that a fucking TAX CUT could be so screwed up?

Morons.

Who cares what they think. The public is the final arbitrator. They give it a thumbs down. Usually GDP gets a boost when tax returns come. There will be a much smaller boost this time around.

Says who? You. The fact is that unless you are getting a huge refund, the interest you are foregoing is almost microscopic. The fact you are talking about only a year limits the amount of money you get.

"The working class got a tax increase in that GOP tax bill. Not a decrease."

This is a bald-faced lie. The vast majority of the working class got a tax cut in 2018; had they not passed that bill, these people would have paid more in taxes than they otherwise would have, and THAT is the truth.

In General but not necessarily in all instances:

learning curve errors on withholding forms is a biggie.

OAN has guesstimated that non-resident claimed children of illegals living with granny south of the border, if in fact they exist, previously accounted for refunds in the low billions.

Otherwise Obama's TIN program may have had other bad effects that indirectly increased or otherwise screwed up tax payments. Then comes SALT changes.

Means that less taxes are being taken out of their paychecks -- which means they are keeping more of their money -- so yes, that is a good thing for most Americans...

EXCEPT ....that it is not that black and white...but I suppose you knew that already...

The article is probably right. Treasury officials did set this up with a aim of reducing refunds. This is typical of bureaucrats who are out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans. The better course of action would have been to not change the withholding tables which would have led to higher refunds. Then people could decide whether they want to use the old withholding tables or new ones.

That so? Well maybe you should explain in some detail how the working class tax bill was increased instead of lowered. You think most of them didn't benefit from the increase in the standard deductions? Tell us what the % is of working class taxpayers that itemize, hmm? You do know that the reality is that the tax rates got cut for middle class Americans, right? Do you really think the working class is affected for the SALT limit? How many of them are paying a mortgage that exceeds $10 grand in interest payments?

Question: did you make this shit up on your own, or did you get it from some left-wing rag? If you really know what you're talking about, then put up or shut up.

Keeping more of your money and paying less taxes sounds pretty black and white to me for most Americans. Tell us why you think otherwise.

The Federal Government Collected More Taxes In 2018 Than Ever Before

Gee, I wonder who was responsible for that?

The federal government collected a record $1,665,484,000,000 in taxes last year, making it the best year of income for the government on record.

The numbers are mind-boggling.

Details with some whining by Dims @ The Federal Government Collected More Taxes In 2018 Than Ever Before

 

[Blackrook]

The people paid less in taxes AND the government collected more. This is the magic of a tax decrease, and the only ones not happy with it are brain-dead Democrats.
