The same (except for modest COL increases) for the last several years.

I usually get about two thousand dollars back in a refund.

This year I got $3800. An $1800 increase due to changes in the tax code.

Is that the "windfall" they are talking about?

Not much of a windfall, is it?

Of course it does. All of Trump's policies are aimed at personal enrichment. These are his major donors. Martin68 10 hrs ago #12
