I didn't really have a chance to review it with a magnifying glass or anything ~ but it appears my health coverage went UP.

Thanks Trump!
So now you're complaining about government taking your money? You should have woken up a long time ago.
Income tax is theft.

The tax cuts aren't the problem. It's out of control xpending by Congress and the lemmings who don't hold the spenders accountable.

Had you paid any attention the tax cut you will get starts next week.

If you get a dime extra it is a raise something you never received under Obama.

Remember, Obama never gave our seniors a COLA raise in 8 years but gave all welfare people
raises each year due to cola going up.

No one said you would get a big raise, any raise is a plus thanks to Trump.

If you do not want the Trump tax cut, tell your employer you refuse to get a raise for doing nothing for it.

Of course your healthcare costs went up. That's the plan. And everyone, except the upper 10%, will pay more taxes, if not immediately, then later. They should have also increased the checks for everyone on any type of Social Security. But don't worry----this gang of plunderers will be tossed out soon enough and then everything they did to damage us and our country, will be reversed.

These ordeals we're now enduring, may turn out to be the spark to really establish a full single-payer medical and dental system and to eliminate the cap on Soc Sec premiums. And also, invoke a means-test, to reduce or end benefits to those so wealthy, they don't need them.

We were told our healthcare would go down as much as 25-35% and they went up as much as 100%.

We were told our deductibles would go down and they went up.

Obama lied plain and simple and got caught.

Do you have the ability to calculate what your taxes were before and after? If not, that tells us everything we need to know about the lack of wisdom contained in this thread. I'm saving about $600/mo

Thanks Trump!

Yep. I can live the next 4 years entirely on just my gains since the election. The dividends are a bonus year.

It isn't actually a raise.

It's a payday loan bribe.

Just checked, my fed withholding is exactly the same as it was in the past. Interesting.
