It is possible that many middle and low income people did not give Trump any credit for the first round of tax credits. If they had direct deposit of their paychecks and spent whatever they earned, they may not have even realized that there was more in their paychecks than before the tax cut. Then when they did not get as big a tax “refund” the next year, they blamed Trump for what they considered a loss.

. I wish that Trump would tell more success stories of individual people so that others in similar circumstances could identify with them. Also stories about people in the “opportunity zones”. PDJT mentions the Op zones, but no one except the people directly involved even knows what it means.

. A wise man some years ago said (paraphrasing). Give them statistics and they nod off, tell them a story and they listen.

That’s exactly what happened. Some people’s only understanding of taxes is that they get a big check from the government every year.

It is sad that so few people do their own tax returns. Or I guess even sadder that they don’t look at their returns when someone else prepares them, don’t even try to understand the numbers.
