Can We Have a Check-In, Please?

[NanceGreggs]

Is there anyone here who got that “on average” $4,000-per-year tax break – or even close to it?

Is there anyone here who got a tax-cut that will pay for a kitchen remodel, a new car, or a family vacation?

Is there anyone here who has checked the taxes being withheld from their paycheques –only to find that they are now under-paying the taxes they will be liable for when they file next April?

Is there anyone here who has calculated their Trump tax break, compared it to what they won’t be able to deduct, and have come out “ahead” of where they were before these “massive tax-cuts” took effect?

Is there anyone here who works for ANY corporation that has used its tax cut to increase workers’ wages, or to pay more than minimum wage to their minimum wage employees?

Is there anyone here whose life has been changed by Trump’s “massive tax cuts”, who can now afford things they couldn’t afford before, who are now financially secure enough to promise to put their kid through college, law school, medical school?

Is there ANYONE anywhere who has benefited from Trump’s “tax cut” – aside from the already-wealthiest individuals, the already-wealthiest corporations, the already-wealthiest politicians?

ANYONE?

Bueller?

1. Nope, looks like nobody got anything good from the so-called tax break.

Ain't that a surprise!?

Well put, my dear Nance!

7. "Nope, looks like nobody got anything good from the so-called tax break."

THIS ^^^^^^

NOT me, nor ANYONE that I know personally is befitting from the tax cuts for the rich.

[dchill]

2. I feel like I'm getting a little more shaft!

That's good, right?

[poboy2]

20. I got the short end of a stick, yippie! -eom

3. Nancy I think this more than all the other crazy nonsense

Is what will kick his and the gops ass. The people in the south seem to be getting wise to the bs, in Texas no less.

[NanceGreggs]

5. I agree.

The shit won't hit the fan until next April, when people file their taxes and realize they've been shafted.

The Republicans, including Trump's "base", turn a blind eye to all kinds of things - even collusion with the Russians. But when his policies hit home in the form of a promised a "massive tax cut for the middle-class" that doesn't materialize, minds will be changed.

Republican voters are dumbasses when it comes to most things, but - amazingly enough! - a lot of them can count. And they will.

4. No effect whatsoever on my taxes. nt

[Hortensis]

6. Some should be seeing it. The pubs have to hold power

in the 2018 midterms, and voters are able to understand promises that they're should get some money out of this. Massively incompetent as this congress is, we know the tax heist is meant to bribe with one hand and take away with the other.

8. When your tax cut buries the nation in even deeper debt and further

reduces the buying power of the almighty dollar, is it actually a tax cut at all? Just another drumpfian lie to me! Long live the wealthiest at everyone else's expense!

9. HA! Americans abroad (only 6 millions of us) never got even a wave from D.C. for the last 50 years.

Although Texas, where I get my salary paid, has no state income tax, and Germany takes over 50% of my income anyway, Germany does recognize charitable contributions, so the changes have affected me to the tune of exactly zero dollars (or euros).

10. Ummmmmmmmmmm

Did my donation to Hutchison College count? It was only an old stereo system designed for college living...............

[Le Gaucher]

11. I am getting screwed... I live in a blue state with high property taxes

My taxe withholding have not gone down one bit.. And we are on the hook for salt deduction above 10k which we will very easily breach with my property taxes alone..

[denbot]

12. My trucker per diem was lost to defer the cost of this tax break

I’ll pay about $1,400 more in taxes if my numbers are the same as last year..

[Funtatlaguy]

13. November 6 can not get here soon enough.

Send a message.
Vote them out.
Flip the House.

[Sedona]

14. $16 per month

[tavernier]

15. You shouldnt let that get around.

You’ll have to hire a body guard.

[redstatebluegirl]

16. We had to increase our withholding

We had more in our Feb paychecks but our tax guy said if we did not have them take an extra amount out every month we would owe at the end of the year. Our withholding has been spot on the past ten years. I think these tables are smoke and mirrors so people think they are getting more so the vote for republicans in the fall before they find out they owe.

[Gothmog]

17. The tax scam will raise my taxes

[anneboleyn]

23. Ours too. And all to pay for Ben Carsons office furniture and to send Trumps brood all over

the world to negotiate business deals that don’t benefit the president in any manner whatsoever.../s Oh yeah and to pay for elected official Ivanka Trump to represent us in places like South Korea, where diplomacy and a deep understanding of protocol is quite important. Ivanka is obviously the perfect person for the jon! This doesn’t look like a third world dictatorship at all! /s (again just in case anyone thinks I meant this seriously).

Ben Carson, according to a story I saw last night, is trying to demand that his office be filled with HUGELY expensive decor including a chair that costs around $5,000 and a sofa or something similar that cost some insane amount (like $30,000). WTF is wrong with these people?!

[scarletlib]

18. Not this family.

[dembotoz]

19. heard a talk from a cpa at a business networking meeting..lots of outside sales are gonna be fucked

the long faces from the room of trump sympathizers was great to watch

its starting to sink in

[anneboleyn]

21. Mr. Boleyn & our accountant do our taxes but I know that we received a TINY bit extra last month

when all of the fuss was originally raised. Overall it’s not significant at all in our monthly income. And it will be offset by paying more taxes. Chances are we will be paying MORE than we did last year (married with double income and no kids).

[Demsrule86]

22. We see nothing and since the cost of our health care doubled and one plan was discontinued(good one)

Trump has cost us money as most families will figure out. He is so slimy.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. As a retiree, I have no pay check. However I estimated my taxes for

next year and instead of a $1500 return, I will owe between $900 and $1000, due to the elimination of personal exemption and caps on deductions. I have used itemized deductions for over 40 years and the new single standard deduction of $12,000 Is about half of my itemized ones.
