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.
