Trump Tax Cut 2019 Edition.mp4

So the twittersphere was abuzz with anger over Trump's latest floater.

The headline is a "Middle Class" tax cut to 15%. We have to assume that is talking about the 22% bracket.

But a lot of people don't understand how tax brackets actually work, so in the video I walk through three examples: a single person, a married couple, and a married couple with one child to see how much they would have to earn to be affected by this "middle class" tax break.

The answers might surprise you.
