My Personal War Against Capitol Broadcasting Co. (WRAL-TV and Fox50)

<< < (2/3) > >>

The lastest crap from Jim Goodman’s stooges at local Fox50: “The IRS has said that tax refunds are 8% lower” under the GOP tax plan. This is only half the story but they can’t seem to miss an opportunity to bash anything GOP.

The “news anchor” over there said nothing about the reduction in rates of income tax withholding for the last year. Most informed taxpayers would agree that the net effect of the tax law changes result in a smaller overall tax bill. You just got it during the year as in increase in your check.

I don’t understand the ignorance of wanting a large tax refund. It’s your money, you have only given the treasury in interest free loan during the year.

I suspect many people are so economically ignorant that they don't realize that, and, financially improvident that this is their only way of 'saving' money.

Libertas:
That deluded state of thinking has been around a long time.  I've heard people basically admit they are too stupid to manage their financial affairs intelligently if they had that additional income in-hand and say they are OK giving the government an interest-free loan that they can just turn around and blow anyway once it comes in.  Sure, their stupidity may eventually maintain a status quo should bank savings rates go hard NIRP but then your currency value is probably in flames at that point too.  So, still stupid as hell!

Socialists trying to pin a negative spin on this on Trump should be trolled hard...tell them it's nice to see them become ardent Trump fans since by their shat-brain logic less receipts must mean more money for the government to spend on deadheads!

ToddF:
It sounds like that journalist is so stupid, he wants to pay higher net taxes so he can get a bigger refund.

That's probably not just a local news thing, most journalists are probably this stupid.

Those types can be identified early...they always object when basic common sense is required in any thought or discussion...
