These great tax cuts for the "regular guy"? By 2025, 25% of the tax 1.5 trillion cut will go to the top 1%. 66% of the benefits go to the top 20%. Which leaves the bottom 80% of the country to fight over roughly a third of the tax cuts.
If you're genuinely stupid enough to believe that massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations is "looking out for the regular guy" then there is no hope for you. And, of course, what did Congressional Republicans turn around and say after putting us trillions in debt to make rich people richer? That we need to cut Social Security and Medicaid to help pay for it.
Not surprising from the same group of people who literally shut the government down in the aftermath of the Great Recession because they wanted to cut unemployment benefits to millions of people who relied on those benefits to try to stay afloat.
CEO wages went up by 17% in 2017, btw, and regular hourly wages were stagnant.
Tell me again how this is all benefiting regular people?
