a great many people will get a lot back from reduced tax brackets.
12,000 to 14,000 earned was reduced 5% so there is the first 2000 or $100. reduced tax

next 47,450 to 56,800 was reduced 12% so there is the next
9350 or $1122. reduced tax.

then take another 2% off additional income over the $56,800 vs before tax changes.. and you saved that money also..

these figures are for married filing jointly, then if children, lots more . ggg

then non tax dividends.

now maybe some of us didn't get much money back but this money went into the public and it is creating more spending and hopefully jobs soon.

Gosh there must be so many people who have AGIs that increased by $50,000 last year. They'll be happy.

No connection between your reduced taxes and the ballooning deficit and debt, I'm sure.

But, as Cheney says, they don't matter.

It isn't "real" money, is it? It will just get rolled over in some Treasury auction in the sky.
