They're not reporting the truth, folks. Simple as that. Of course, they wouldn't know it if it bit'em on the ass. If they were capable of acknowledging it, this tidbit would assuredly be at the top of your radar:CR: If you pay attention to the mainstream media, you’d think that the vast majority of Americans hate the tax bill and the policies it contains.
Is that really true, or is it just more fake news? The editorial board at Investor’s Business Daily found out something interesting when they polled the actual policies in the tax reform bill: Americans largely support them.
It’s as if the mainstream media is asking leading questions to produce a response they desire — that advances an agenda. Well, of course.
...That is mostly because of the wording of the question, and the job that the mainstream media has done to drive down both Donald Trump and Republican legislators’ approval numbers. This polling is reflective of that.
When you look at the actual policies, there is broad support.
Most of the surveys, however, only ask people broad questions about the tax cuts: Do they support the plan overall? Do they think they'll get a tax cut? Will they boost economic growth? Here’s what IBD says:
What's more, when people are asked about key provisions in the tax bill, support rises across the board.Imagine that, the American people actually want a tax cut, if they actually get one. That is why the GOP is right to ignore the media narrative on polling and focus on delivering a tax cut for the vast majority of actual taxpayers. Come election time, the liberal media ruse will be shattered. And they know it.
The IBD/TIPP poll is one of the few that has bothered to ask such questions. The results from the November survey:
57% support lowering corporate rate from 35% to 20%.Other polls produced similar findings. CNN found that 55% support increasing the standard deduction, 79% back the boost in the child tax credit, and a plurality support the mortgage deduction limit.
55% support reducing the number of tax brackets.
83% support cutting the pass-through tax rate for small businesses to 25%.
66% support doubling the standard deduction.
If the tax bill passes the Senate and becomes law, beginning in Feb. 2018, millions of Americans will see a higher take-home paycheck. That’s because withholding will be adjusted to reflect the tax cut they are getting. When that happens, those people, who have been lied to by the media, will start to see the tangible effects of this tax legislation.It's freedom of the press, not Pravda, American mainstream media! You'd do good to remember that, instead of feeding us propaganda filled with the preclusion of failure just because it involves Republicans and Trump.
When that happens they will realize that they have, once again, been lied to by the media.
Is it perfect? Is anything perfect? Obviously, if government has anything to do with it, no. Though we'll likely see a deficit increase, because Washington has overextended their never-ending spending spree on either side of the aisle, this has the potential to draw businesses back to our shores with reinvestment and jobs, while taking out less in our paychecks and allowing us to take more home where it's needed most. Not to mention if earned pay is given back to the people who actually earned it, this begins to place the reigns of an out-of-control government back into the hands of the people, instead of the rulers who've misspent our tax funds all these years, thus forcing constraint and cuts toward the overall debt. Either way, sounds like less government waste of our money, and that's a net win. Report that, American media!
