Wait ...I thought taxes went up....refund shortages and such .
They went up for us in the middle.
What family income range do you define as the middle ?
I've not thought about it. From what I can see, families between 70K and 500K are seeing an increase ESPECIALLY property owners who saw their mortgage deduction capped.
I'm not one of those who got the money in the form of increased pay last year and am shocked to see a smaller refund.
Well now that you've had a little time to think about it....
what is your definition of the middle class ?
Mine is a family income of $ 135,000 to $ 250,000
According to the linked data source, median (the true middle) household income was $61,000 in 2017. The range for household income in the25%-75% percentiles was $29,000-$105,000. You included $250,000 at the upper end of middle class. That number puts a household well into the top5% of all US household by income.
I understand what you are saying but statistically you are way off.
