I'm happy for you, but I made less ans paid more.
I made more, paid a lower effective tax rate, less refund than last year. Most people don’t understand the basic concept of effective tax rate versus a tax return.
The exploding federal deficit under this president thanks you also.
If doubled under Obamer. Unfortunately, no politicians care. And, it is doubly hypocritical when the left cites the deficit. And, now the idiots want socialism. What do you think that will do genius?
That is total ******** the deficit under Obama went up more than all the presidents before him put together.
Owed almost five figures last year and got a refund this year, even with iptay heisman dues not deductible.
Luckily it was discovered years ago that the federal deficit is not a real metric of concern.
I agree with you completely.
I'm sure you will join me in suppor of the Presidents proposal to dramatically cut domestic spending to balance the budget.
Thank you!!
My suggestion is to simply shut the doors of every single federal agency which has a function not specifically delegated to the federal government by the States in the Constitution. This would include (but not be limited ro):
Dept of Education
Dept of Energy
ATF
HUD
And quite a few others...
Start with the federal reserve
I remember when I used to jump into these frays and try to explain economics to wing-nuts. What was I thinking?
Dont sink billions into the military would help too.
Glad to see someone else #winning. Seems like the vast majority of the country is.
Hopefully we can now reduce entitlements and begin chipping away at the deficit.
The real problem is the boat loads of money that we give other countries, especially ones that hate us.
Same boat here... standard deduction for first time in forever, made more money than ever before, paid less overall tax, and less effective tax rate than I have in years. Less “refund” too
Ourselves. The overwhelming majority is the equivalent to intercompany debt. Except you wouldn't necessarily need eliminations.
That's categorically false.

And Obama was running an under $600B deficit when he left office. Trump has set us up to have trillion dollars deficits thru 2029....and that's using his own calculations.
Woa Woa Woa. Please don't interrupt their conservative talking point circle jerk.
... said the pompous fairy queen of left wing nut jobs.

Obama ran up our National Debt, more than all the other presidents combined. He put that money into green companies, many that received millions and then went bankrupt anyway. I believe Solendra was one. All for the worst recovery in our nations history. Plus he tried to pit races against each other. A White person is murdered by a black guy and no mention of it. The opposite happens( although usually legit), and he rants about it. Takes up for the gentle giant- Michael Brown. President Barry was a joke, even to most Democrats.
Lol anybody today crying this is just sad. Even if you are 50, regardless of race, religion, or gender, you have had access to the most accepting opportunities ever before seen on this earth in this country. There is literally no excuse other than blaming the one in the mirror. This coming from a 'millennial'.
Good discussion.
We should all fully support not wasting money and being involved in the endless wars that the Dems and Repubs alike seem to love.
Notive the universal criticism from both sides that the POTUS has received for announcing he'll bring almost all troops home from TWO different theaters.
On the other hand, you may not be away that about 2/3 (or more) of ALL our aircraft were NOT IN FLYING SHAPE because Obama cut the military budget so much.
Surely you don't approve, do you?
You sound like a racist.
You call him stupid even though he was pretty much factually correct in his statements.
Why would you do that?
Being a partisan isn't helpful when trying to discuss facts. Its seems to be all that a lot of people are capable of these days.
