Seething

Tax time is here and many Americans have already had their forms completed in anticipation of a larger tax refund than usual because of the revised tax code that a Republican Congress passed and Donald Trump signed.

But as Raw Story noted in an article this week (link here), many middle class taxpayers are finding that their taxes have not gone down as promised but instead have gone way up. And some of these people were Trump supporters until recently.

Their anger at Trump is palpable. "I voted for you and thought you were fixing this, not making it worse!?" says one. "Thank you for screwing the middle class with your tax reform.... The middle class voted for you. I will not make the same mistake twice."

Well, we warned these people before the election that Trump was a liar. But some people have to put their hands on the hot stove before they will believe you.
