If the Mueller report ever gets released, I'd be curious about what it has to report on oranges. Maybe there's a paragraph or two about carcinogenic windmills?

Don Trumpote, astride Putinante with his faithful retainer, Sancho Penza, by his side.

You need those things to disperse all the earth-killing cow farts.

^ LOL.......good one......yes if Drumpf and his minions had their way we would all be living in the middle ages as serfs .

Mine stayed mostly the same, people with kids got hit the hardest. I run my own business and my tax consultant is a conservative who can't stand t-rump. He says the so called tax cuts were only for people closer to t-rump's income range.

Wrong again my friend, the the 2,000 credit for those making under 2000,000 comes from George W Bush:

"Married couples filing jointly who make under $400,000 per year and single individuals, head of household, or married couples filing separately who earn less than $200,000 per year, will be able to take $2,000 per child as their Child Tax Credit.

This is one of the many tax cuts instituted by President George W. Bush early in his first term, geared towards giving families some relief at tax time.

When the Child Tax Credit came into existence in 1998, the per child amount was $400. Over the years, it has been increased substantially."
