The President’s Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, maintained that his department had run the numbers and had shown that the tax bill would pay for itself. It appears that he lied, not so much about the result of the Treasury’s study but about the existence of the study itself: the Times reported last month that the analysis had not been done.

But yea... Trump is a real champion for the middle class.

This is only 50% satire. Its a tax cut and it does benefit the middle class.

Of course smaller sized middle class businesses (5-10 million in profits/year) will see the largest relief. This is because businesses between 2-10 million were getting absolutely murdered by taxes, with no incentive to hire. That is the problem. You had this HUGE tax burden on smaller businesses for no reason, while the big dogs are over in Ireland and Holland paying a flat 15% while technically being an American founded company.

Businesses over 25 million in revenue, well they didn't really need a tax cut but are getting one anyway. That is one of the missteps of the bill.

Anyway, the bill does what Trump said he was going to do. There is no sense for the left to hate on it. The only thing they should be voicing strong dissent for is not taxing passive income over 100 million dollars, and not raising the capital gains tax and/or changing the definition of capital gains. P.S. draft federal regulations on hedge funds please. stop giving these overnight billionaires a place to make money disappear and we'll be a lot richer as a whole.

Ah no.

They literally make money disappear.

The fact that every successful business magnate and Sillicon Valley innovator rushes out to a secret hedge fund (hedge funds are not allowed to advertise, and do not report statistics to the public) is cannibalizing this country.
