This is the biggest tax cut in U.S. history
It’s the fourth largest, behind @BarackObama’s 2012 extension of the Bush Tax cuts, the 2010 Obama tax cut, and the 1981 Reagan tax reform.http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/oct/26/donald-trump/donald-trump-wrong-his-tax-plan-biggest-cut-ever/ …Show this thread -
