Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is fueling the fire of Thanksgiving family politics this season with a fancy chart he hopes his followers will use to shut down their conservative kin.
Schumer’s advice for Thanksgiving, via Twitter:
Bring this chart to Thanksgiving dinner. It’ll come in handy when that family member who always talks politics tells you the Republican tax bill helps the middle class. pic.twitter.com/2EpZ5PxcDY

The chart, “based on Joint Committee on Taxation” data, alleges anyone making under $75,000 will lose money with the Republican plan. It shows those who make over $1 million would save the most.
The chart depicts the “Average percentage change in after tax income” … 10 years from now.
It doesn’t show the potential savings in 2018, which is projected to be much more across the board.
