      As Americans file their taxes today, we’re taking the opportunity to revisit how fundamentally flawed the #GOPTaxBill is. Watch LIVE: https://www.facebook.com/97172997732/videos/10156308467922733/ … #TaxDay

      Under #GOPTaxBill, 90 mil Americans making less than $50k/year see an avg of $192 extra in their pockets. Compare that to the 572,000 Americans at the top who now make over $1 mil extra/year. They will receive an avg tax cut of $64k this year. How does that make sense? #TaxDay

          It’s simple Mike. The top 20% pay 84% of all federal income taxes. When those making under $50k dont pay income taxes, there’s not much for them to get back. Did you really need this to be broken down for you Barney style?

          Michael, why are you trying so hard to alienate your constituents? Also I'm wondering why Colorado teachers had to march to the capitol for more funding. Where are the additional taxes from Marijuana going, obviously not to the schools as intended? Maybe a recall is in order.

          If you truly care about CO taxpayers then you need to revert those special district bills that are in favor of the developers at taxpayers expenses. Look around the state

          Yeah Mike, there is sense to it, because that group pays the VAST majority of federal taxes. A learned person would see that a percentage of a million nets more than the same percent of 50k.

          Maybe you could have lunch with Senator Gardner to explain this point of view. He’s on the circuit telling us how grateful we should be for this abomination...

          Let's break it down by % of income. That will be a better tell than the $ amount. Stop your BS. Anybody that understands #'s. Knows the % is a better indicator. Do provide the % of income. We shall see who is pushing a false narrative.
