#TrumpTaxCuts The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, often called the **#TrumpTaxCuts**, was sold as a win for the middle class—but did it really deliver? Let’s break it down:

✅ **Corporate Tax Rate Slashed** – Dropped from **35% to 21%**, giving big businesses a massive windfall.

✅ **Stock Buybacks Soared** – Instead of raising wages, many companies **rewarded shareholders** with record buybacks.

✅ **Temporary Middle-Class Cuts** – Many middle-class families saw modest cuts, but **most expire by 2025**, while corporate cuts are **permanent**.

✅ **Deficit Exploded** – The tax cuts added **$1.9 TRILLION** to the national debt, with little economic growth to show for it.

**Bottom Line:** The wealthy & corporations **won big**, while working families got short-term relief at best. Now, as key provisions sunset, will Congress extend the breaks for the rich—or finally fix the system?
