You think people are dumb enough to believe that because you cut the marginal rate temporarily that your tax burden also was decreased. Or maybe you're dumb enough to believe it. Who knows? You said yourself that you hadn't done your taxes yet, so you don't even know what your liability actually is.
I posted from the get go last year this was going to happen. Just wait. This wasn't rocket science. IT HAPPENED BEFORE! Bush's tax cuts 'we're 'giving' you your refund early' scheme was fairly paltry $300 for a single person or $600 for the average family. Remember? (They were were quasi-honest and called it a 'REBATE' but how many understood that?) Millions were surprised when they got nothing back or owed after that round.
This is bigger! They changed the deductions and exemptions. TRUMP promised over and over and over on AVERAGE $4000 SAVINGS PER HOUSEHOLD. Assuming they got $4000 savings throughout the year BUT eliminated many deductions and 'tinkered' with the exemptions THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!
The ONLY question is to how many! We will know before April 15. Maybe only the 'early filers' are mostly getting shocked and 'awed'. But my bet is on MILLIONS being surprised, pissed even OUTRAGED. Anyone wanna take bets?
