We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

Yep, we sure do.

Over 40% is social security and medicare, about 20% is the Dept. of Defense.

Where should we start?

No, its called giving the Republicans the opportunity to waste spending federal money, and stick our children with the bill.

GOP was in control of both house of Congress and the Presidency when the last spending bill was passed.

My increase has nothing to do with SALT. But thanks for playing.

Well, this is at least a more intelligent and reasonable discussion than the "thanks for nothing Trump" threads that popped up claiming people didn't really get decreases because they were too stupid to realize that they got it in their paycheck over the course of the year.

When facing hard facts we've instead had to change from the false narrative of no cuts to the reality of deficits....which neither party will touch with a 10 foot pole.

The number of people that would rather give the government a year long interest free Loan and complain about the lack of a large tax return in March is astonishing.

I’m lead to believe that the majority of us are fiscally stupid impulsive creatures that need to be lead to the next day of our life on a leash.

Facts are you likely got more back each pay period and you likely paid taxes at a lower percent this year. Find out yourself - don’t let the media or your neighbor tell you


Get a grip people

H&R block, the same day refund guys. Most of my family uses H&R block and trust me, they weren't paying any taxes anyway. We paid them to file in reality.
