America Hates GOP Tax Cut

[calamity]

No surprise here.

Multiple polls show a majority of Americans don’t think they got a tax cut at all — even though independent analyses show they did. And only about a third of the country approves of the legislation itself, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed by Congress at the end of 2017.

lol...that sounds a lot like Trump's approval rating. :lol:

...as Trump moves closer to full-time reelection mode later this year, he will have to battle a stark reality: While his personal rating on the economy remains high, his signature legislative achievement is widely viewed as a political dud, one that has drawn special anger in places with high state and local taxes and pricey housing markets where deductions were limited to reduce the overall cost of the tax plan.

White House officials are clearly aware of their vulnerability on the issue and officials are dubbing this Tax Cut Week, sending the president out to tout the impact of the legislation starting in Minnesota on Monday.

Translation: the con man will be out conning. Trumpers have their own sinking version of Obamacare: The Trump Tax.

The Trump/GOP 2017 tax law also changed paycheck withholding, but they never really publicized this facet.

Why? Because they wanted Americans to believe those few extra dollars their paycheck every week would be IN ADDITION to their customary tax refund check.

As it is, they can't really use the TCJA on the 2020 campaign trail. Middle Americans now realize they were fleeced and the wealthy (and Trump) saved extra millions in taxes.

They didn't even use it in 2018. The fact that Trump had to pivot to touting an imaginary future middle class tax cut that he hadn't even proposed (shortly before the GOP got wiped out) should tell you all you need to now about the electoral efficacy of the TCJA.
