A friend of mine is pissed!

Like me, he is an OTR truck driver. He was able to get a nice refund last year. Trump screwed that up this year! My friend told me that he had to pay double his last year's refund! He is a Trump supporter. All I do from laughing, was to think how much I will have pay and I started to cry!

hard way, as in a kick to their wallets. Bread and butter issues rule the day. And tax refunds are extremely important to a whole lot of Americans.

There's no dancing around the issue. My husband and I have been there, using those tax refunds to pay off bills and repair/replace things that have gone belly-up during the year. For many Americans those refunds are like a savings account. People depend on them. We certainly did while raising kids, robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Let the howling begin!

This Administration hasn't the faintest idea how the vast majority of Americans live and survive.
