hey t-rump, where's my tax cut?

comparing my 2018 federal income tax with 2017: 

• total income up 7.6% 
• 1040 taxable income up 83.7% (103.8% from qualified dividends & capital gains worksheet taxable income)
• itemized deductions down 25.3%
• federal income tax up 121.3%

my 2018 federal income tax is more than double my 2017 federal income tax! thanks, t-rump and congress! 

had enough?

who do you trust? 

   - liars in the WH & congress? 
   - the extremist republican and democratic parties that are financed by billionaire corporations and billionaire extremist PACs that supply dishonest, extremist candidates for public office?

   - the biased news media?
   - or do you think for yourself?

to fix our dysfunctional government is simple and easy--stop voting for republican and democratic party candidates who are liars and extremists, and who don't represent the best interests of our country to move our country forward. 

voting for a republican or a democrat is a vote for the party--the hand that holds the puppet/money strings.

in the next election--national, state or local--vote for someone who shares your values who is not a democrat or a republican. 

even with their billion dollar donors, the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die if no one votes for their lousy candidates.

nothing will be better for our country.

the same goes for biased media--stop patronizing divisive, biased media and they'll go out of business. nothing will be better for the USA. 

the news media has this story all wrong. IRS says average refund up 1.3 percent | TheHill it isn't about refunds!!!-- it's about your total tax for the year. 

tax is the total amount that you owe the federal government each year. refund is the difference between what was withheld and your total tax. if more was withheld than your total tax, then you get a refund. if it's the other way around, then you pay the difference.

get it right irs & news media! it's about total tax--it's not about refunds! 

had enough?

had enough? 

who do you trust?
- the republican and democrat parties that give us lousy candidates for public office?
- do you trust billionaires and the billionaire corporations that fund the republican and democrat parties that give us lousy candidates?

- or do you trust someone who has similar values to yours?

here's how government operates: 

or rather, doesn't operate.

the fix to our dysfunctional government is simple and easy--stop voting for lousy candidates who don't have values similar to yours and who don't represent the best interests of our country to move our country forward. 

If you vote for a republican or a democrat, then it's not the person who you voted for who is in control--it's the party--the hand that holds the puppet/money strings. 

In the next election--national, state or local--vote for someone who shares your values who is not a democrat or a republican. 

even with their billion dollar donors, the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die if no one votes for their lousy candidates.

Nothing will be better for our country.
