The Trump tax bill DOUBLED the standard deduction from $6,000 per adult to $12,000 per adult---or $24,000 for a married couple filing jointly. It also lowered the actual tax RATE for lower and middle income tax payers. The idea that repealing the Trump Tax Cuts wont result in higher taxes on lower and middle tax payers is demonstrably false. The Biden surrogate then simply states that they wont raise taxes on lower income workers---but gives no specifics----Essentially what the Biden surrogate is saying is a slight variation on Biden's "court packing" answer---"Voters dont deserve to know any more than what Im telling you. You have to elect me to see what my tax plan is."

Most upper middle income don't itemize anymore either. You pretty much have to have to have a mortgage and a lot of donations to itemize.
