    No good reason why federal taxpayers should have to subsidize states' income taxes.

    But they should "subsidize" fortune 500 companies and billionaires?
    Of course I think they should. After all, my opinion is that they shouldn't have to subsidize state income taxes, therefore logically speaking I must think they should have to subsidize billionaires and corporations.

    Every single case where somebody has bitched about their refund being less, I've noticed that their total taxes paid were less in 2018 than 2017. In other words, they were simply taking home more in each paychecks due to less withholding.

    It's really stupid and pointless to compare refund amounts instead of total taxes paid.

    No shit. But reality is most people don't look at it that way.
    Yeah, well most people are dumbasses.

    Could it be that "refunds" are down because the Government didn't rob as much from you through out the year? I've not received a "refund" from the Federal government since I was in my 20s. Why the fuck should I give them an interest free loan for the year?
    Refunds are just shitty financial planning.

    True. But many Americans like refunds and depend on them.

    Here's the point lost on Troomps. As you don't want to hear anything negative ever about anything Trump did. This is something Trump supporters are blaming on him, regardless of the actual reasons why it happened.

    But reality is, this will be forgotten when Trump starts screaming about the wall again. They will get reenergized.
    Walls and Trump have nothing to do with ‘liking tax refunds’ being stupid as fuck financial planning.

    Liking Tax Refunds was stupid as fuck financial planning when Clinton was POTUS too

    It's not Democrats flinging shit. It's tweets from Trump voters. Are you that ignorant?

    And yes some people didn't get a tax cut.

    It could be. Good luck with that argument vs the billions rich people made off the tax cuts.

    “People made”? That sums up your mindset perfectly.
