What would happen if a bunch of people started calling their Congress people and Senators and said they didn’t want the tax cut?
The Senate’s version of Donald Trump’s tax cut bill will cost the bottom 20% of taxpayers an average of $560 a year while giving an average boost of $6,055 to those at the top end.
