They obviously did not ask 100% of workers if they saw a hike in take-home pay. They had to do a sample of the population of workers. And they conducted a poll of the sample. So “poll” is correct.

Wooo Hoooo!
Fake but accurate.

Not only did our SS go up,
= = = = = = = = = = =
Are you sure?
There was a .03(I think) raise early on for SS but I have seen no raise affiliated with the tax cut as it had already kicked in.
My Jan ‘payout’ was 32 bucks higher than Dec...but nothing since the ‘tax cut’...

Maybe(?) part of yours is taxable??? That may get a raise.

It CNBC. It a clown poll pushging a poltical agenda. Consumer confidence numbers indicate people ARE seeing, and feeling, the impact.

Do you want to see a big (negative) change in your paycheck? Give Democrat-Socialists the House, Senate, and White House.

If you only saw “$8.00 a week” you must be paying almost zero in taxes to start with.

My paycheck got smaller, because it was offset by the Social Security tax kicking back in in January.

It just says "The poll was conducted from March 17 to 20 among 800 Americans." They could have polled "working and tax-paying Americans."

Drooling Nanci pullossi, Schumer, and too many other elected criminals keep insisting that the criminal DACA invaders ARE citizens...

And pay income taxes!

Hydrogen and stupidity are...

You have to be employed and pay federal taxes.

You nailed it.

My wife and I are empty nesters, but I claim something like four deductions to ensure I don’t get a refund. I’m thinking of dialing it back because we end up owing so much at the end of the year that we had to pay a very tiny penalty last year. Somewhere around $20.

My goal when I moved from Seattle to KY was to get my TAXABLE income as low as possible. I got it down to five figures and it helped a lot.

My contention is that there are real numbers to this....and there shouldn’t even be a poll.

Many are going to have to pay in, rather than get a refund.

Extremely dubious.

Parasites, illegal aliens, millions of fake "permanently" disabled parasites and illegal aliens collecting from hundreds of welfare programs will never pay a cent for anything in their entire lives; and those of their endless bastards...

“Most people are too clueless to even look at their pay stubs.”

With direct deposit and electronic “pay stubs,” you are very correct. It takes a concerted effort to log on and view your pay stub and compare it to pre-tax-cut pay. Most people will not do that.

Also, depending on your trade or profession, your pay may not be constant pay check to pay check. So any decreased taxes can be masked by the normal fluctuations. I was in Sales Support many years and, depending on the company and comp plan, there were many months I would never see the same amount twice. Everything gets all jumbled together in one big pot.

I retired last year and I got my wages income down to a single figure (which is a VERY scary number!).

They are probably asking people who have no federal tax withheld.

52% of Americans don’t pay taxes, so I wouldn’t expect them to see a difference.
