Democrats play fast-&-loose with ‘tax-the-rich‘ rhetoric, but scream when it happens…

…yet, then, spin it to appear as a GOP tax-cut failure. Reported in the Hill: “Watchdog: Nearly 11 million taxpayers may be subject to limit on key deduction”

Sounds bad, right? O-M-G, 11 million taxpayers are getting screwed by GOP tax cuts!

It takes 8 paragraphs before you learn those 11 million taxpayers are…wait for it…

…the Highest Earners (in primarily high-tax, blue state areas).

That’s right – the Republican tax-cuts capped state and local tax deductions that could be applied against federal taxes; that means high earners, who by definition pay more of state-and-local taxes (SALT), can’t deduct as much as they once could. Cue violins!

Wonder why it took the author to the end of the 8th paragraph to mention that?

(Did we mention The Hill was a left-of-center outlet?)

Could it be Democrats really DON’T WANT TO TAX THE RICH MORE?

Wait – could it be more disingenuous Democrat rhetoric? Say it ain’t so.
