Headline: “Many Stunned to Get Smaller Tax Refunds”

With tales blaming Dems
Sold as “media gems.”
It’s “balanced” reporting that’s failed.

By Madeleine Begun Kane
When paying my taxes great pains
Always shoot through my muscles and veins.
But for once there’s relief
From an oft taxing beef:
Schedule D won’t show capital gains.
