Hey, Republicans! You and your "tax cut" SUCK!

I just roughed out my 2018 income tax return, and it looks like, earning about $7,000 less than last year, my federal tax is about $1,100 more than 2017.

I hope you're all happy with your gold toilets and car elevators.

4. There is only a VERY small subset of the middle class that got an actual tax cut.

If you are single with no children and usually have taken the standard deduction in the past, then you will actually see a tax cut. Very small subset, of which I am one.

I rec’d the cut from the marginal rate reduction and the increased standard deduction.

This tax scam is utterly brutal toward middle class families.

You won't be seeing Paulie around no more ( in my Clemenza voice.) His assignment is complete and probably moved on to a higher tax bracket. Bastard.
