The Washington Post soundly debunked the claim, made by numerous
Democratic lawmakers, that the GOP tax reform bill will result in a
tax increase for middle class households in a fact check published
Thursday.

A number of prominent Democratic lawmakers have publicly claimed the
tax reform bill, scheduled to be released Thursday, will result in
an average tax increase of $794 for households making up to $86,100
annually. WaPo fact checkers traced the claim back to a report
produced by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, that predicts
that some 8 million households making less than 86,100 per year will
see their taxes increased.

�If enacted, the Republican tax reform proposal would saddle 8
million households that earn up to $86,100 with an average tax
increase of $794�a substantial expense for working families,� the
report reads.

The Democratic lawmakers, including Sens. Kamala Harris of
California, Robert Casey of Pennsylvania and Jeff Merkley of Oregon,
falsely asserted the increase will apply on average to middle class
families omitting the key detail that the increase will in fact be
confined to �8 million households.�



The distinction is important as 8 million households represent just
6.5% of the nearly 122 million households in the bottom three income
quintiles. Roughly 80 percent (97 million) of households in the
bottom three quintiles will receive a tax cut, according to the
report from which the false claim originated. Additionally, every
quintile on average receives a tax cut.

While the most substantial average tax cut will go to the top
quintile, that group also contains the largest percentage of
households (32.3) that see a tax increase.

The fact check concludes with a harsh condemnation of the lawmakers
who disseminated the demonstrably false talking point.

�In their haste to condemn the GOP tax plan, Democrats have spread
far and wide the false claim that families making less than $86,100
on average will face a hefty tax hike,� the fact check reads.
�Actually, it�s the opposite. Most families in that income range
would get a tax cut. Any Democrat who spread this claim should
delete their tweets and make clear they were in error.�

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.

The Democrat Party is coming apart at the seams.
