If you think the bar graph is misleading you must not have done well in school

The bar graph is misleading because it doesn’t show that the growth under the new bill is projected to be less than the old bill.

It’s just a snapshot.

I wouldn’t call that misleading. I don’t expect a graph showing the relationship between income and tax to also show economic outlook, that would require a different type of graph

Yeah so the bar graph doesn’t really help people understand the effect of the new bill. It’s a poor choice of graph.

You could definitely say poor choice of graph, but I don’t think it’s really misleading. It just highlights that the only meaningful increase in take home pay benefits those making 250k+, and the staggering differences even within the 5th quintile
