There’s been a lot of spin already put on the GOP tax bill just added this lottery angle:
Got tax winnings from the new bill? Our @ronlieber suggests giving them back if you can afford it. Tweet your plan for the money with the #GiveItBack hashtag. https://t.co/smWDJ9S7Fm

We’ve officially seen it all now!
"Tax winnings"? What part of the money I earned is supposed to belong to someone else? You're quite happy spending other people's money, aren't you?

Apparently somebody at the Times thinks you can “win” your own money thanks to government generosity.

I love how they call keeping more of money you made "tax winnings," like you just won the lottery. https://t.co/OXKAJUKrOC

Why doesn't the @nytimes take down its pay wall with its corporate tax "winnings"?
What a bunch of jerks. "Winnings?" How exactly does one win their own money? https://t.co/pWXBdMMjyw— Lrry Keho (@lrrykeho) December 29, 2017

My plan is to tell @ronlieber that it's my money, not "winnings", and that I'll do whatever I damn well please with it #GiveItBack https://t.co/DAVIHcESuB

P.S. It's not "tax winnings." It's "your money" https://t.co/kWxyhxG59f

"Winnings"? It's a tax cut, not the lottery, dummies. It was MY money to start with. https://t.co/1H7nrhmRhE

Someone doesn’t understand how taxation works. The money taxed was MINE to begin with. ??

"Tax winnings"
And this is from the "Business" section of the NYT.
Keeping more of the money YOU EARN is not a "tax winning." https://t.co/QftzqpxbV9

But isn’t it nice of them to tell everybody what they could to with their own money?
I think most individuals know best how to deploy their cash without sanctimonious advice from the Times. https://t.co/LhEdN1al9X

Keeping more of your own money is apparently “tax winnings” according to the brilliant minds over that The NY Times. Utterly incredible.
Bonus points for the NYT Times unironically going full republican and advocating private charity in lieu of government charity. https://t.co/jXCUdKTLj3
