Another tax season is upon Americans, and with it, Kamala Harris has arrived to make one of the most ridiculous attempts ever to prove the middle class actually paid more in taxes last year:
The average tax refund is down about $170 compared to last year. Let’s call the President’s tax cut what it is: a middle-class tax hike to line the pockets of already wealthy corporations and the 1%.

Holy facepalm, Batman!
That's because people took home more money throughout the year.
Their taxes WENT DOWN, you pathetic liar. https://t.co/gJbKwkyvTg

A Pulitzer for the first media blue check who corrects Harris about this.
If Trump had said something this patently false, they'd be all over it. https://t.co/gJbKwkyvTg

I mean, even CNN explained this.
Why is a sitting US Senator and candidate for president spreading a ridiculous lie like this?
Is anyone going to hold her accountable? https://t.co/gJbKwkyvTg

We’re not holding our breath.
My family took home more in pay last year (that's how tax cuts work, fyi), coupled with the smaller return we are getting this year, we actually kept more of our money than we did the year previous. But hey, way to twist that narrative! #Integrity, go get some https://t.co/GLmZDz7JH4

This is misrepresenting. If individuals saw an increase in their take home pay after the tax cut, then getting a smaller tax refund isn't necessarily a bad thing. Getting less back from the government means they kept less of your money throughout the year. https://t.co/TyqWQJdSgb

I would imagine because less is taken out through the year? This seems logical. But don't let logic and truth get in the way of your false message…why start now? https://t.co/RARbaMiNPB

We’re sure Harris will NOT let that happen.
