Two weeks ago lots of people were sure the tax reform was going to be a catastrophe (most due to trumphobia or direct false MSM reporting), but the MSM picked the worst possible thing to lie about:
1- The lie was easily disproven.
2- The subject (taxes) directly affects the wallets of the Citizenry, so their gaining knowledge of it was inevitable.
3- The bill was passed by solely by Republicans and wholely panned by Democrats in both Senate and House.
This is a smooth red pill to a huge number of working americans that will notice a thousand dollars in a few monts, and another dose to everyone else once a year of positive data comes back in 2019 that confirms basic economic sense.
On contemplating the cause, I've come up with little sense:
1- Is the MSM's bias so blinding they don't realize what they've begun?
2- Is the MSM controlled tightly enough that this was actually direct from spiteful and foolish puppetmasters?
2a- or has MSM disobeyed orders and mutinied+suicided?

Yeah, it gets pretty painful to explain that a dollar bill is a debt promise. If i give you a dollar, i am simply telling you that i will pay you said dollar, not how the dollar will be paid. The mechanisms of the current finance system get very complicated, but people still have this idea we live in the 30s where everything was backed by gold. Blame whoever you want, but that ship has sailed. Secondly, if I can find a way to save even a quarter point on taxes, i will do it. Fuck this altruistic, paying taxes as a patriot. The govt as a whole, resents me for being white, so why should i givce the more money?

I was a Patriot.
I was lied to. Stolen from. My Constitutional Rights are being illegally undermined by things like "The Patriot Act".
Then I find out my own money was spent on Stinger Missiles that were given to the Al Nusra front and then used to murder my friends.
MY TAX DOLLARS MURDERD MY FRIENDS WITH WEAPONS HILLARY CLINTON AND THE CIA GAVE TO AL NUSRA.
No. No more. Not a fucking penny. I'm getting it all back. Someone else can pay to murder brown people in other countries.
