It's kinda sad that some TeeeVeee outfits copy/paste releases which are so obviously propaganda.
The headline pasted onto the story:
Trump's tax law will benefit the rich at the cost of the poor, CBO analysis finds
Umnnnhhhh......
First off, the author of this fairy tale is a sports writer. Maybe that's why he does not bother with little details, like "Who are 'the poor' that are penalized?" or "Who are 'the rich' that get all that money?"
If he had asked that question, he would have found that only Medicaid and Food Stamp/SNAP thieves will lose income. You know: the Welfare Class. Perfectly able to work, but refuse to do it, and collecting food stamps and Medicaid. These are the thieves stealing from genuinely needy people--the ones who cannot work and must rely on tax dollars to live.
Then he yaps about "the rich" taking home the money. You have to read the BS carefully to notice this:
... Associated Press reported that American households will see more income from the tax cuts in the law, including middle income households...
Oh. Middle-income peeps get a few more bucks to pay utility bills with!!
Who are "the rich"?
The top 10% earn $140K or more--which is about what a typical public-university professor makes, or a or a local TeeeVeee anchor, or a teacher-firefighter married couple. And at $140K, they will not be taking home an extra $13+K, either. The ones taking home that $13+K are earning well over $900K/year and to them, $13K is postage money.
But the TeeeVeee doesn't ask questions any more; they just run the story, then return to watching sports.
Sheesh.
