The new tax tables with lower tax rates for every earner are FACTS. Your dumb meme is not a fact. (And it's not a chart either.)

That's one of the most dishonest things I've seen you do. Usually, what you do is just stupid. The 6 million out of 161 million refers to people that immediately got a raise or bonus because of the change in the tax law for the business they work for...….not because of the change in their tax deductions. The change in personal income taxes was targeted to middle class citizens.....not to more wealthy people with unearned income and/or huge mortgages. In my case, without getting into specifics, I fit the targeted group and I am seeing an after-tax increase in my take home pay. I will also benefit from the increase in the standard deduction both in amount and simplicity. I'll bet anything you will still want to argue about it.....
