More than half of America's single parents and one-fifth of its families with children could see their federal income taxes go up under Republican Donald Trump's revamped tax plan, according to a new analysis of the plan by a New York University professor who previously served as a tax specialist for the Obama administration and the Senate Finance Committee.
The Trump campaign called the findings "pure fiction," contending the analysis neglects a crucial benefit for low-income taxpayers — and insisting that Trump would instruct the congressional committees drafting his plan into law that taxes would not be allowed to rise for any low- or middle-income American.
"The fact that NYU didn't include in their model the $500 per-child match — a central element of our plan — demonstrates that their entire exercise is fatally flawed," Trump national policy director Stephen Miller said in a statement. "Nor did they model the effects of the tax-free spending on both children and elderly dependents that is additional to either the new deductions or those in current law. They modeled someone else's plan, but not ours."

More lies and distortions from the Hillary supporters.
This is the Washington Post....more rank propaganda than even Pravda can imagine.
At a rally Clinton said she was going to raise taxes on the middle class.
People are really tuned into the idea Clinton lies these days.
What’s more, I think they know these papers are lying their asses off too.
This doesn’t play like it used to under Clinton and Obama.
Folks are damned tired of being chuckin and jived with.
Harry Reid is writing for the Washington Compost. Who knew?
Stop reading after a read that
The commies at the WaPo are panicking big time. Their princess has already said that she intends to rob the corpses of dead Americans and this moron says Trump is going to raise taxes. This guy is a lying pig. What a waste of ink and paper.
When did the liberal rag compost ever care about rising taxes?
They always tell us that high taxes are good for society.
I just did a new study which shows that Hillary would kill all the puppies and kittens.

The Washington Compost is worried about higher taxes? Who knew!!!
AH the liberal leftists all love to spout nonsense
But hitlary promises lower taxes right?
Another Trump hit piece from the Washington Post.
They don’t fact check Hillary 65% death tax proposal.
Go figure.
Well hell’s bells! If an NYU professor who has worked for the Obama administration says it, then that settles it!
Besides, we all know academic studies are inerrant. They are the Holy Scriptures of the Progressive Left.
It was worth continuing to read, because amazingly enough the WP included what Trump’s people said, that it is not true and the “study” did not include key elements of the Trump plan, which result in lower taxes, not higher ones.

Don’t need to red any farther.
You can’t trust anything from anyone even remotely connected with NYU. Just the same as you should believe anything the FBI as it is now.
Look for this to be a primary LIE in the playbook of Hitlery and Lester "I'm a Republican" Holt in tomorrow's debate. And Trump will crush that LIE in about two seconds.
AN odd conundrum - one would have to be paying taxes for those taxes to be raised.
And since 47% of folks in the US don’t pay taxes now (well, sales and tobacco/booze taxes, maybe) - how could that be raised?
