Well, the change came as a surprise to most. No one last year said


your paycheck went up because of the tax cut AND we've reduced what you are likely to get as a refund/you're more likely to owe money come April.

The politicians ignored and didn't want you to realize the second part because they wanted the first to look bigger particularly in November.

However, it's coming home to roost now, sometimes because people are stupid and don't understand how money works, but sometimes because people planned to see the same refund they've seen for years and years.
