Friday’s CBS This Morning relied on slanted liberal analysis from the supposedly “nonpartisan” Tax Policy Center to bash the tax plans of Republican candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz while defending Hillary Clinton’s proposal as simply maintaining the “status quo.”

International Business Times editor Lauren Lyons Cole provided the breakdown for each candidate based on the tax group’s numbers. While she acknowledged that the middle class would “see about $300 a month, about $150 per paycheck increase” under the Trump plan, she quickly fretted: “...with Trump, of course it’s going to benefit the wealthy the most. So as you go up, your paycheck would increase drastically. Which would benefit him as well, I guess.”
