2022-08-03 15:39:48 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

This is a misrepresentation of the findings. The report was based on tax costs only and did not include benefits, which cancels out the tax impact. And, the chart is about potential tax burden (not actual tax), IF all of the corporate tax is passed on to consumers. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/biden-manchin-raise-taxes-middle-class-400000-campaign-promise-corporations-rich.html
