        Good job Paul Ryan. The Repubs won't be happy until we're back to Serfdom. Barefoot and starving in the streets. Children working in Amazon warehouses.

        What’s most striking to me is that a third of the benefits of the Trump tax cuts go to people who are not Americans. The GOP clearly does not believe in America First, and it calls into question whose interests Trump is serving. https://twitter.com/ifindkarma/status/1080279355094269953?s=21 …https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1080158757974429696?s=21 …

        The question is how many Americans are going to have to write a check on April 15 because their withholding was not high enough. We’ll see.

        You are not alone. There’s a lot of people on Twitter expressing similar anxiety and uncertainty over what will happen with our taxes this year.https://twitter.com/troutgirl/status/1080280483823443968?s=21 …

        Wait until they do their tax returns over the next few weeks. Many don't realize Federal withholdings were automatically reduced & they've already received & spent the small, one-time tax cut they were expecting. Many will have a smaller return or bigger bill than expected.
