Only *NOW* you'll be paying BACK that $300 AND MORE...

And I am surprised, NOT, that despite the return $300 check we get from Mr. B. my household's middle class tax return has decreased every year, since Bill Clinton left the white house.

ps. isn't it AMT in your title?

That tax cut was just paper, when you are going to have to pay back what you once had cut.
