Now for some Right Wing economic wisdom.

IRS Sets Withholding Tables as GOP Pledges Paycheck Increase
Quote:
“This is outstanding for families in Texas and taxpayers across the country,” House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, a Texas Republican, said in a statement. Nine out of 10 taxpayers “will see a boost in their take-home pay within the coming weeks,” he said.
Quote:
Two congressional Democrats have expressed concern that the new tables would “systematically underwithhold income taxes during the 2018 tax year.” That sort of move would boost workers’ pay before the November 2018 congressional elections but could leave them “owing federal income tax when they file in 2019,” according to a Jan. 8 letter to the Treasury Department from Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Representative Richard Neal of Massachusetts.
Isn't this what Bush Sr. called Voodoo Economics? Goes to show that some of the people like Texas can be fooled all of the time.

Now we know why some Sam's Club locations (aka Walmart) are closing, Texans cannot make their layaway payments?
