Democrats vilify the Trump tax cuts for generating smaller refunds

Idiots all. Refund amounts have nothing to do with total tax liability. 80% of taxpayers owe less, 10% the same, and 5% saw their tax liability go down in 2018 according to the WaPo. Portman can't even explain this fundamental conservative concept that lower taxes are good, grow the economy, and lead to more federal tax receipts.

We have to pay a small amount this year. Would far rather have to send in than let the Feds hold my money, interest free, until I file for my refund.

The democrat formula;

Math is hard.
People are stupid.

[Blood of Tyrants]

My wife and I made more, paid less taxes and got a bigger return. I can live with that.

[Political Junkie Too]

Smaller refunds means people are paying taxes more accurately, not more taxes.

I see the public schools have served the government well. Must be new math in all 57 states.

[Dont tread and Live]

exactly....the party of the deaf dumb and blind.....

[dfwgator]

I haven’t gotten a refund in years.

I don’t believe in giving the Government an interest-free loan.

WOW!

Kammy Harris proves she’s dumber than dirt.

Democrats are annoyed that the feds are not holding onto as much of our money (interest-free) until they decide we can have the overage returned to us sometime in the next fiscal year. (For those who didn’t follow the article, most folks are not only paying less in taxes, they are having less withheld, so the increased cash in their pockets shows up continually during the year, not in as big a lump sum as it might have in previous refunds).

[Kahuna]

If someone needs the government to save money for them in the form of over paying taxes just to get a bigger refund, that someone is as dumb as a box of rocks.

[Political Junkie Too]

Smaller refunds means people kept more of their money throughout the year instead of getting it back at the end of the year.

it’s a working formula..

I’m in Minnesota.. while it’s a complete and total lie.

it’s working.

[DoughtyOne]

Democrat thinking...

$50 more take home each payday = $1,300

$200 less refund

Net loss to taxpayer...

Bwa ha ha ha ha...

[DIRTYSECRET]

Cut spending and it will get bigger.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Nothing is new under the sun.

For decades the ill-informed taxpayers have fooled themselves into believing a tax refund is money the government gave to them.

And unfortunately, almost all of these ill-informed taxpayers are regular voters.

[1Old Pro]

Tax refunds have ZERO to do with taxes paid. It has everything to do with withholding amounts. I heard a CBS news reader gasp when this was announced, what an idiot.

[Bayan]

Only Democrats and their brain dead minions can show this level of stupidity.

[shelterguy]

Women and child hit hardest.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Net loss to taxpayer...

The kind of people who think this are the sort who will vote Democrat no matter what. These are the people who believe that if they get a refund they don't pay taxes.
