We had a lot less withheld, but had been carefully saving all year to make up for that. We ended up paying more, because we got penalized for not having enough withheld.

I think anybody with any brains could foresee that Trump and the Rs would fuck things up for the non-rich, but the assholes made it so if you didn't guess right, you got screwed even more.
