the only thing that getting a refund every year tells me about someone is that they are giving the gov't and interest free loan every year.

Withholding tables have been reduced, Pottsie. This talk about "what I got back" is starting to sound like a bunch of liberals. All that matters is what the heck you paid. What percentage of income compared to prior years? The money you "got back" was an interest free loan you gave your government out of the goodness of your heart.

Perhaps, you have no idea what you are doing.

This post, including the title, is the most ignorant post I've seen this week.

A very simple question remains unanswered. did you PAY more??? Unhappily, I expect to, but did you since you brought it up? Complaining you're getting back less is ridiculous and meaningless.
Poster above is correct, why give them an interest free loan? You don't really look at your refund as positive, do you? Why are you overpaying. Why don't you make more than before? Why should anyone care about whining? Why did I answer?

First, my income and finances remained pretty much the same.

Secondly. why did I give them an "intrest-free loan?" As I stated before, it is more like protection payments to the mob.

so if you didn't pay more (pretty sure I will!), what was the purpose of the op?

Potts, when you learn a new word such as "largess," please realize that you don't need to put it in quotation marks when you use it in a sentence. It makes it look like you pull most of your stupidity off of opinion blog headlines instead of just out of your own stupid head.

you gave the gov't the use of your money for a year and they did not pay you interest.

Typically, when responding to your posts, most of the words I use have to be explained to you.

But that's OK. I'm sure your small vocabulary wasn't a hindrance in you meteoric rise to be head stewardess on the Bangkok red-eye...

(Meaning that because you know not so many words, it could not stop you from being big man in tiny dress who hands out pretzels and sodas inside big iron eagle.)

10 days after the fact, you come back in a blaze of improper grammar and spelling to tell me about what? I don't get it. Explain to me what all of that meant.

It seems that even potts has the ability to operate basic tax-preparation software, so he might know what he is doing.

What is evident, however, is that he has no idea what he is talking about. As noted by other posters, computing one's tax rate and thus the results of a president's tax policy using your tax refund amount is almost criminally stupid. Cluelessness and willful stupidity should be no surprise to anyone familiar with potts' screeds.

Though I have absolutely no interest in this person's finances, it is certainly clear that he also has no interest in actually discussing them. Also clear is that he simply used a provocative topic to find a new way to attack the president. Sorta getting boring. Coulda been done in a more clever way.

The secondary story line emerging is getting more and more personal and for that reason alone I shall continue to read new posts.

End of round 7. To your corners, gentlemen

Aw Frank! Now when Potts gets to use the computer again, he's going to come back here in 10 days and really tear you a new one.
