That’s right. You’ll never see the Democrats talking about this or the Press (but I repeat myself) but it’s true.

The IRS has released new data about tax filing season that has put weeks of overhyped media stories to rest: Compared to last year, refunds are now up 1.3 percent on average. Many politicians were quick to jump to conclusions about how tax refund data had proven that the recent tax cut law was a bad idea, but it’s turning out that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has been on the whole a windfall for taxpayers up and down the income ladder.

Another Democrat talking point falls to the wayside. As the article points out that argument was always kind of silly to begin with but even as silly as it was it wasn’t true.

Even CNN of all places admits it:

The average refund check was $40 more this year than last year through the week ending February 22, according to data released by the Internal Revenue Service on Thursday.

Now if we can get the democrat-run states to start cutting taxes those numbers would go even higher.

You suppose we’ve got any kind of a shot of convincing Cuomo the lesser on this point?
