An explosive increase in the National Debt also occurred under Trump.

The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt. The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office.


Covid relief was over 3 trillion. He rebuilt the military and made it stronger. He invested in America.

Biden gives away money like it grows on trees. 1 trillion in new debt every 100 days under Biden.

Joe needs to sell his mega-mansions he paid cash for from his 10% cut from scamming and laundering Ukrainian money. He also got his 10% cut from Hunters dealings with the Communist Chinese party. The IRS should look into his hiding of money under assumed names, fake businesses, cash deposited by the millions in his multiple bank accounts and money donated to him from Sam Bankman Fried, the investment scammer who just got 25 years in prison. With all the money fraud in Joe's entire family, they could pay off the total national debt themselves.

A poor dimwit claims Trump tax cuts didn't benefit the average family.
And, claims he is an accountant.

The Trump Tax Cuts Were Not ‘Tax Cuts for the Rich

The most significant benefits accrued to working- and middle-class filers.

Batya Ungar-Sargon makes important points in her op-ed “Democrats Are the Party of the Overclass” (Sept. 1). But at the end of her article, she writes, “Democrats typically ask: What about Republicans handouts to the rich? What about the Trump tax cuts? They have a point about the other side, but it’s not much of a defense.”

IRS data reveal that all income brackets benefited as a result of the Trump tax reforms, with the most significant benefits accruing to working- and middle-class filers, not to the wealthiest, as media and Democrats have ceaselessly claimed.

IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most
President Biden and congressional Democrats’ Build Back Better (BBB) Act is now in the hands of the Senate. That legislative body’s 50-50 partisan split will undoubtedly make the bill’s passage difficult.

In order for BBB to become law, Democratic Senate leadership will need to convince moderates such as Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) that the legislation’s $2.4 trillion price tag can be offset by expanding the IRS and its enforcement efforts while imposing substantial tax reform measures.

Congressional Democrats have argued that one of the best ways to pay for the legislation is to raise taxes on wealthy households, which, according to many on the left, have benefited disproportionately and unfairly from the 2017 tax reform law passed by Republicans and signed by former President Trump. The latest data, however, proves that this claim is pure mythology.

Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued.

A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect and the most recent year for which data is available.

Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.

By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent. (For more detailed data, see my table published here.)

That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more.

What’s more, IRS data shows earners in higher income brackets contributed a bigger slice of the total income tax revenue pie following the passage of the tax reform law than they had in the previous year.

In fact, every income bracket with filers earning $200,000 or more increased its tax burden in 2018 compared to 2017, and every income bracket with a top limit lower than $200,000 paid a smaller proportion of the total personal tax revenue collected.

That means that Republicans’ tax reform law resulted in the tax code becoming slightly more progressive — the exact opposite of what Democrats have claimed over the past four years.

The IRS data further shows that the tax reform law — which included a variety of business tax cuts, including a large reduction in the corporate income tax rate — spurred economic mobility.

Every income bracket with a top level lower than $25,000 experienced a reduction in its number of filers, and every income bracket above $25,000 increased in size, with the biggest gains occurring in the brackets with a floor of at least $100,000.

The fact is, Republicans’ 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups, provided the greatest benefits for middle-income households, and spurred economic growth that helped reduce poverty and improve prosperity.

It would be a grave mistake for Democrats to eliminate key parts of this important legislation.

A poor dimwit claims Trump tax cuts didn't benefit... (show quote)


It is true that the working and middle-class filers got some benefit from the Trump Tax Cuts. But it amounted to very little compared to the benefit enjoyed by the wealthiest tax payers.

The tax cuts were skewed to the rich. Households with incomes in the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, compared to an average tax cut of less than $500 for households in the bottom 60 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center. As a share of after-tax income, tax cuts at the top — for both households in the top 1 percent and the top 5 percent — are more than triple the total value of the tax cuts received for people with incomes in the bottom 60 percent.

Given the 2017 law’s deep flaws — it’s skewed to the top, costly, and has failed to deliver on its economic promises — policymakers should seize the opportunity the 2025 expirations provide and make a course correction. Regressive tax policies should be replaced with progressive ones, our tax system needs to raise more revenues, and our fiscal priorities need a fundamental reset.
