However, taking hard earned money from a single mom working two jobs to make ends meet...

If she's a single mom working to make ends meet, she's very likely not only paying little to no income taxes (i.e., one of the ones you complained about a few minutes ago), she's also likely getting an earned income tax credit (EITC) back. This is different from an ordinary refund: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals...

I grew up in deep, mean poverty--way worse than huckster JD. I worked pro bono with impoverished Detroiters for many years. Among other things, we helped them file their taxes so that they could get their EITC.

If you truly think that MAGA cares about this single mom, someone is lying to you.
