I just filed my 2017 taxes this week!

I am going to get a nice return for the final time! With the new tax scam that Trump and his goons passed! I will not be able to deduct my personal expenses anymore! Yeah, they will give me an automatic deduction, but it will not cover the actual cost of what my expenses are. I will loose at least $4000 a year in my refund each year until they change the law again! I guess they want people to starve while Trump can fly to Florida, every weekend?

1. Oh, no kidding. I'm sorry for what this'll mean for

you if we don't win good in the midterms. But let's just hope a whole bunch of Republicans are getting early word of the share they're being dealt.

This is only the beginning too. The weasels plan to pass a bunch of other predatory laws, in addition to slipping in amendments to this one, in 2018.

2. The weird thing is the withholding shows ours going down.

When I checked with an accountant they told me to adjust our withholding or we would have to pay. I think it is smoke and mirrors to show the masses that they are getting extra money in their pockets before the midterms and then hit them with the truth in 2019 when they file their taxes. By then they will have reelected these pigs once again on false pretenses.

4. Exactly. Messing with the withholding tables does not mean you don't owe it at the end of the year.

6. This is what I'm worried about.

I'm worried the holding tables are screwy. I plan on holding extra savings to pay taxes next year.

3. I guess you aren't "average"

I saw right through their BS about the "average" taxpayer getting $2,000 back. There is no room for anybody else to get more money after the 1% and the corporations take their piece.

5. Well we have never been accused of being average :-).

The problem is the masses won't see through it until it is time to file. By then the interest rates on their credit cards will have risen through the ceiling and they won't have the money or the credit to pay what they owe.

7. In ten years we'll get slammed even worse. The 1% will remain untouched.
