🙏🙏 thank you President Trump for giving the middle class a tax cut 🙏🙏 > To a large degree, the gap between perception and reality on the tax cuts appears to flow from a sustained — and misleading — effort by liberal opponents of the law to brand it as a broad middle-class tax increase. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/14/business/economy/income-tax-cut.html
Mainstream media on both sides of the aisle are both guilty of this. There’s no moderate news source any more.
Yeah - but you can’t compare random misleading blogs to the NYT, which classified itself as a Pulitzer winning unbiased source of neutral journalism. I couldn’t care less if NYT shills for the DNC, or the communist party, as long as they classify themselves as such
The NYT does not shill for the DNC
This is dumb. Yes, the middle class got a few dollars back. Why are the super rich and large corporations getting massive tax cuts? That's the real problem here and it's predictable that conservatives are trying to hide behind the fact that the middle class are getting a few more dollars back.
Where is fake news? What is fake exactly? What is news?
I'll do you one better: Why is news?
So why is a tax cut good for the continuity of my government and society? Why is this a good decision? I don’t want a few more dollars while I shell out $200 every 6 months to fix my alignment from the potholes. I don’t want a few more dollars if there are people in my society that don’t have food. I don’t want a few more dollars if I don’t want to walk the streets and parks at night because of a homeless epidemic.
You know that those pot holes are the responsibility of your local government right? Being uninformed isn't cute
Sure, the decision to build an interstate highway was made federally and then the maintenance was dumped onto local governments. Does that make sense? Who has better resources to address the problem? Should the local government be allowed to toll an interstate highway?
Tax cut is a fake news. It's a tax hike, where people need to pay taxes on taxes now. Not a single socialist came up with this. We now have a gaping hole in the budget and national debt is exploding. All the money are going to the welfare programs for military contractors.
I've never seen a liberal brand it as a middle class tax increase. This is a motivated op-ed
My taxes went down by about $100 The Koch Brothers’ taxes went down by about $1 billion. So I think I’ll keep opposing it
tldr; Democrats won the perception war this time. Summary: last year’s tax cuts showed up mostly in the form of lower withholding from workers’ paychecks. A few extra dollars in a biweekly paycheck proved easy to miss. Moreover, as taxpayers filed their returns, many found they were due smaller refunds than in the past, which may have further skewed perceptions of the law. Surveys consistently show that what bothers Americans most about the tax system is not that they pay too much but that they think corporations and the wealthy pay too little.
I am not rich but did not get a tax cut due to SALT limitations. I guess it’s all how you define middle class and rich.

So to be clear you are saying any pro republican articles or pro trump articles in ny times are not fake news but everything else is ? Typical ..
Concentrate on this one for now
This is the fake news: “To a large degree, the gap between perception and reality on the tax cuts appears to flow from a sustained — and misleading — effort by liberal opponents of the law to brand it as a broad middle-class tax increase.” NYT itself comes under liberal opponents mentioned in that sentence, hence it was spreading fake news about the tax bill before and is now admitting it
