Don’t be fooled by Trump’s tax numbers
DEAR EDITOR:
When will taxpayers realize that getting a refund is only getting back the money that they overpaid to the IRS?
President Donald Trump is just using the refund as a cover-up for the tax changes benefitting the highest earners.
Sixty-two percent of the tax advantages will go to those earning between $65,388 and $261,591, and 14% of the benefits will go to the top 5% of earners. Only 6% of the benefits go to the bottom 40% of earners.
