Don't let them re-frame the "tax cuts". People are angry they are getting smaller refunds.

They are trying to tell people on RWR (Right Wing Radio)that this was just a change in the amount withheld and you got your refund in your paycheck.

Uh-Ok-but isn't that a involuntary & underhanded way to go about it?. And it is certainly not a tax cut-only the rich folks got those.

This should be driven home time after time.

It is easy to understand-it affects peoples lives and paychecks adversely-and Repukes are to blame.
Do not let them re-frame the narrative as they are trying to do. I wish I could enforce that with the cable News outlets.
