Tell Cable News Networks: Cover the Important Trump Tax Analysis
A new report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) has exposed the staggering inequality in Donald Trump's proposed tax policies. Yet major cable news networks are largely ignoring this crucial analysis.
The nonpartisan ITEP study found that Trump's tax plan would:
Raise taxes on 95% of Americans
Give the richest 1% a $36,320 average tax cut
Increase taxes by $1,530 on average for the middle 20% of Americans
Impose tariffs that would function as a highly regressive tax, disproportionately impacting poor and working families
The American people need to know the truth about how national tax proposals would impact them. And that starts with cable news networks covering this tax analysis now.
We must demand that CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and other major cable news outlets fulfill their journalistic duty by providing in-depth coverage of this critical report.
