Those are fake accounts, bots, a Catholic pedophile, and Kurt Fn Eichenwald.

You really should jump off the roof.

Same salary this year as last year. !500 better this year.
Standard deduction plus still able to claim education cost on top of that.
I am sure everyone is a bit different.

I don't know if these are real or not but there are real stories like this out there, I promise you. It was projected that there would be a portion of the MC to see their taxes go up
i wonder which is larger. Middle class families who Taxes will increase vs the families who got to keep their doctors, their plans, and saved money bc of their health care thanx to (don’t call it) Obamacare

Additionally.

Middle class dads don’t “freak out”.

We’ve got hip/knee/shoulder pain while tossing up 50 lb kids in the air. Pay 60 bucks at the Golden Coral buffet and my daughter eats nothing but the chocolate fountain. I didn’t screa during my vasectomy. You get it.

Since you brought it up on the OT cuz you just had to cry about it somewhere (so triggered)...

I present to you your ilk. AOC and her dem followers are so anti-American they become disgusted at chants of "USA, USA"

Wish your thread wouldve stayed up rather than being whacked so you couldve gotten the ribbing you deserved

Calling this a middle class tax cut was a complete hose job


Bullshiit. It kinda depends on what percentage of the whole middle class had those results. There could be many, many reasons for that having nothing to do with the tax cut.

See that isn't really the measure to use. You have to check the change in taxes owed. He probably paid less in taxes but didn't notice it because of his withholdings.

I bet a lot of people make that mistake.

Must suck to live in a blue state. My income is slighty higher, and I am also single.

2017 - Maximum withholding (0 deduction allowance); $2203 refund

2018 - Single deduction allowance; $1573 return.

So, for 2018, I withheld a shite ton less from each paycheck and still got back a ton. I had more in my pocket week to week and still got a nice return. I'll likely withhold even less this year.

The tax cuts were good for me.

I’m as middle class as they come and we’re getting back the biggest federal return I’ve ever got. This story is full of shite.

I voted for President Trump and will do so again in 2020. I am married with 2 kids, an E7 in the Army and wife is a school teacher. We normally get around $3,500 - $4,000 back every year, but am only getting $450 back this year. So I don't believe these quotes are to far off base. I haven't compared my take home between 2017 and 2018, but I bet I took home more this past year and what I am missing on the return this year would most likely even out with the take home last year.
