Is he claiming that the tax measure introduced in December 2015, which was to raise the personal income tax of the wealthiest 1% and lower taxes for the middle class, may have had some sort of impact on a certain individual in the House?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5166757\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am trying to understand their argument, the media is trying to understand it, but no one can figure it out.</p>",
