No, I'm not grateful.

I seem to be part of a small, select group: I've neither gained nor lost, that I can tell, from the Republican tax scam of 2018. I'm not the 1%, but I'm apparently just shy of the 10% in both assets and income. (I could have sworn it was higher the last time I looked; that may be because the tax scam favored unearned income.)

That's right: the Orange Horror and his flunkies have screwed roughly nine tenths of the country out of at least some cash. I wonder if that will get their attention; kids in cages where horrible things happen to them doesn't seem to have done so.

I'm pretty sure _nothing_ will get their attention, because they're emotionally wedded to Not Losing To Those Other People. What I am hoping is that they'll feel sufficient discomfort that they won't go vote in large numbers.

The accountant thinks we may squeak by. I said we should donate any refund we get to Northwest Harvest.

I'm keeping my powder dry for another potential legal battle on my mom's behalf. Le sigh.

Our owed amt went up by 10%. That was going from $17 to $166. Of course the husband started taking out extra from his paycheck to put towards taxes at the start of 2018, or we'd have owed about $900 instead.
