For me this will be added to the raise I got after Trump became President as opposed to the 114% insurance premium increase ( a substantial pay cut) and no raise that I got the whole time Obama was there.

It depends. I look at it like this, the more I pay upfront, the more I get back after deductions and credits. What is wrong with that? Anyone not looking to maximize deductions and credits are just plain idiots. That isn't loaning money to the government.

Well it depends how you make off this coming year and how much you got under the old system already.

Do you have proof? I always thought that people actually use taxes for trips and new cars...

Yes, the dead horse is the left saying and agreeing with a millionaire, that 1k i crumbs and pretending that it's not happening because of the tax cut.

Also remember, Armageddon was supposed to happen because of these tax cuts......

Now, why did you completely forget to respond to my question(s) about your leftist buddy freemkt?
Well, it's only been a month. Let us know how things are in 5 years when the tax rates skew back to where they were, and in ten years when they expire for citizens, but not for corporations. Oh, let us know where the debt stands as compared to pre-tax cut days as well.

Tax hikes will not happen.

We recall all the hype we heard from BO that those Bush cuts had to end, then he extended them, then made them permanent.
