This is from a paper that is connected with Mormonism.
Large families will pay even more over time. Charitable giving and high out-of-pocket medical expenses will no longer be tax-deductible.

Large Utah families, students big 'losers' under GOP tax plan, groups say

Large families, college students, disabled veterans and people with chronic illnesses are some of the "biggest losers" under the House and Senate tax proposals, according to several Utah grassroots groups.

I read some information at the end of the article and found this to be very interesting… about DeseretNews.com
“Storybanking Training & Tools: For some issues, stories can be more compelling than facts! We help you find and craft stories to convey your message and disseminate them to the right audiences, especially funders and policymakers, in compelling formats.”

Hmmmm!

Can you provide a link? I don’t see that anywhere.
 
That still doesn’t undermine the other article’s points. And again, Deseret is a respected paper that’s owned by the Mormon Church.

The is a lot of negativity when it comes to reporting on Trump. Most of which is based on a sentence or word that he uses. I prefer to find the video and listen from beginning to end and then make my own mind up. It is very easy to read the headlines that Trump did this or Trump said that. What I have found is that what is said from beginning to end is often completely different to how the headlines portray. It is like reading many paragraphs in the bible to understand the overall meaning of one verse.

My Father, when I was young taught me to watch out for propaganda in the news as it can sway a whole nation

Also, do you give to get something back? I never claimed charitable giving…but of course I’m like the widow with the mite. I don’t have that much!

I know there is a lot of good done by non-profits. Does it bother you in the slightest the breakdown of how much of your dollar actually goes to the cause you are supporting??? And you want a mandate that I HAVE to give… even if I don’t agree to where the money goes. Or are you referring to certain non-profits…?
 
I’m referring to my parish, your parish, your local food bank/soup kitchen, your local hospice.
 
So, does the federal government cutting taxes have something to do with me turning my back on my soup kitchen or women’s and children’s home??? I could actually give more if I had more to give. I think anything I give at my local level I would trust that most of the money is going for the purpose I intended it, right?

I just checked Trump’s Twitter… he calls Michael Wolff a “total loser”. And he’s mocked his former top policy guy, a man he put all his trust in until recently, as “Sloppy Steve” two tweets in a row. He’s working so hard to undermine this new book…clearly he’s scared. It’s hit too close to home. A complete joke… forget the media… just read his Tweets and you can’t stop cringing.
 
Scared? If he doesn’t like fake news why would he like fake books?
