Smaller tax refunds put GOP on defensive

The Trump administration and key GOP lawmakers are playing defense after early data showed Americans are getting smaller tax refunds in the first filing season under the GOP tax law.

The average refund size through Feb. 8 was 8.7 percent smaller than the same period last year, according to IRS figures. Democrats have seized on the numbers, arguing they prove that the 2017 tax-code overhaul by Republicans was a "scam" designed to help the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

We've already talked about this.

These people had less taken out of their paychecks based off of information provided in their W4's because the process has been streamlined.

I'll only argue that it was a dumb move on the part of the Trump Administration to fix this because people are so fucking stupid they just don't get it. The Liberal MSM knows that they're fucking stupid so they can run this story and make stupid people angry about it.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Stupid people are stupid about more than their politics or their tax refunds. They are stupid in all areas, which tends to make them more poorly paid than average:

That's kind of an unfair comparison.

You could probably count on your fingers and toes how many households in the country are run by somebody who is between 25 and 37 in 2019.


Not really getting your point here though. Are you saying that Millennials as a whole are more stupid than Gen X'ers?

Or are you confusing "higher" education with intelligence again?

"A newspaper is the “enemy of the people”?," Painter asked in his retweet. "What does he want, a propaganda ministry? He’s nuts. He thinks he’s in Germany eighty years ago.

I don't believe that Mr. Painter is at all qualified to be giving mental health diagnoses.

Trump already has a propaganda ministry. The Russian trolls post their crap here all the time.

In 2018, only 15% of Millennials (ages 25 to 37) were living in their parents’ home. What universe are you living in, 6ixStringJack, that you only know a handful of people "between 25 and 37" who are not running their own household? In Texas, men are expected to act like adults before they are 25 years old, and certainly before 37, and that includes starting your own household. Is it different in your state? Do you know a lot of people who are poorly educated and aren't paid well? There is a very strong connection between low education and low pay. It might be a law of nature that even Trump cannot veto, no matter how much Trump voters desire to be highly paid, yet think and act and live like ignoramuses.

(And for Trump voters out there, if you think Trump can, or ever wanted to, fix your money problems, you aren't just ignorant, you are stupid. Your employer knows that about you and will adjust your income downward.)

More than 50 ex-national security officials tell Trump his national emergency is not justified. In a letter, the former officials said redirecting funds to build the border wall could hurt national security by pulling resources from programs that keep the U.S. safe.

I bought my house with cash when I was 32.

I'm not a millennial.

Care to try again.
