Tax Revenues Up 5% After Tax Reform


Frontpage Magazine

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE
The Congressional Budget Office says that federal revenues in January added up to $362 billion. That's an increase of $18 billion— or 5.2% — from the year before. As a result, the government ran a surplus of $51 billion that month, which is equal to the previous January.

Shitforbrains.

Go Figure: Tax Revenues Climbed $18 Billion In First Month Of GOP Tax Cuts
 


Read BEYOND the headline of your own citation, moron......From the artcile

As the CBO notes, the new payroll withholding scheduled hadn't fully taken effect in January; companies don't have to update their employee tax with- holdings until the middle of this month. When that happens, monthly revenues from individual income taxes will likely slip.


These sources know they are misinforming, but do it anyway because rightwingers either don't read or don't have the critical thought pattern required to understand past the headline.

Individual income and payroll taxes, it says, rose by $68 billion. "That change largely reflects increases in wages and salaries," the CBO says.

The left hate it when average Americans get a pay raise.

THESE CHANGES DO NOT REFLECT REDUCED TAX RATES

"In addition, companies that are bringing money they had parked oversees — because of the excessively high U.S. corporate tax rate — back into the U.S. because of the corporate tax cuts, will be making tax payments they wouldn't have otherwise."
