re: #274 Targetpractice

What’s hilarious is that, in trying to defend why nobody’s getting a refund and a lot of people actually owe a shitload of money to the IRS, the GOP are outright admitting that the whole scam was not to cut taxes for anybody but the rich. The rest of us got a “raise” courtesy of fucking with the withholding tables, without any sort of upfront warning that doing so would mean no refund the next year. And yeah, the IRS did call attention to this…by telling people to ask their employer about updating their withholding at work. Meanwhile, inflation ate up that “raise” so that people are no better off a year later and all the cuts/ending of tax deductions and credits aimed at blue states are biting even red staters in the ass hard.

it’s con #4 from above: Trump makes voters believe that his presidency benefits them.

and they eat it up even when their wallets are empty and those jobs never came back
