You didn't know trump has spending problems?? How do you think he bankrupted and failed miserably so many times? Unfortunately this time he's doing his finest work on our country with tax-payer's money. Hopefully, things are about to change, and it's not too late to turn our country around. #cleantheswampforreal Your ignorance is STUNNING. Do you have to go there?? It's more likely you're ignorant of your ignorance.

The government took in over 3.5 trillion dollars in revenue at the Federal level just in taxes not including SS and Medicare taxes. They spent over 4 trillion dollars. It's never a spending problem with the government it's always a revenue problem.
In Illinois for FY 17 the last one I could complie before my CPU in my computer smoked from the numbers. The almost 7000 units of government collected and spent over 200 billion in taxes of all types here in Illinois alone. Yet somehow the people are to blame for Illinois being broke. We are taxed to freaking death in this state.

Just did my taxes for the year. My effective tax rate went from 15.2% last year to 17.1% this year. I thought everyone was supposed to get a tax cut. Not sure how much more of this winning I can stomach.

Not sure how much more of this winning I can stomach. An effective tax rate is the average rate at which an individual is taxed on earned income, or the average rate at which a corporation is taxed on pre-tax profits. If you are paying more in taxes this year than you did last year, then you must have had a great year and improved your income since last year. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue on "effective". If you did better and, as a result, you're paying a higher percentage, get over it. The fact hat you're paying 17.1%, you're not anywhere near middle class.

Perhaps you have a fool for a tax preparer?

This article is from April of 2018 so it would not be using President Trump's tax plan because his didn't go into effect until the 2018 tax year which didn't end until December 31, 2018. This year's preparations are the first to take place under his tax plan.
We're looking forward to seeing how ours come out because we haven't had a tax return, or even broke even for that matter, since 2008 or so. If we can just break even, we'll consider it a win!

All I can say is that I’ve had the same health insurance plan and the same doctor for the last fifteen years but I didn’t get a tax cut this year. And I’m not in the top 1% snipey. Upper middle class just like you.

Your experience, ME, reflects ours. We increased the amounts we set aside for taxes each year, but we’ve never gotten back to the “pre-crash” days prior to ‘08. And, obviously, we’re heck of allot older... I hope we will see an improvement. Although I have to admit that I feel very blessed, still, to be growing old in America, rather than some other spots!!

My family's did jump however it's due to my wife doubling her pay in the year. Going from 24k a year to 48 in a year makes a difference in taxes.
