No he didnt? He just stated the accumulative of state, local, and federal. Spock was saying he needs to break it down to actually determine the increase or decrease in only federal taxes.

I get that, but this OP was from the perspective of an individual that filed a short form, and they saw a smaller tax burden. I don't understand how anyone can complain about paying less taxes. Well, I can, but the people screaming for more taxes dont pay the taxes that pay them...
It's the new platform of democrats, don't wanna work? We'll tax someone that does so you can stay in mom's basement forever...

Seriously, there are a thousand ways to spin the tax break in a way that it will "look" that taxes increased but overall in reality taxes are down, I paid 10% less for 2018.

If you cared at all about taxes you wouldn't live in california.
At 15 dollars an hour you could move anywhere in the country and get a job that equals your pay, but would probably drop your living costs by 50+ percent.
Around here you could work at burger king(they start at 15 dollars). apartments are around 800 and you can buy a house for 150k.
I'm assuming that's no where near what california costs.
