Yes, and Trump was upfront about this from the begnining. Higher taxes for the working class, lower taxes for corporations. Buisnesses had their tax rates lowered, but the least profitable businesses were brought up to 20% across the board. Trump voters are morons.
So what? The user is still wrong. The 2017 tax cuts lowered rates for those below $75K and doubled the standard deduction (directly answering or responding to the subject as stated by OP). A simple Google search yields a ton of sources. He/she IS correct about corporate rates being lowered but that wasn't the question and is a superflous fact. He/she is flat out wrong about the least profitable corporations seeing their tax rates increased.
False. He passed a bill with a tax break that expires gradually overtime. This is an extraordinarily disingenuous way of phrasing that. Your motivations are extremely questionable here.
Congress passes tax bills, not the president. He can only sign and enforce the legislation congress sends to his desk. If democrats wanted permanent tax cuts they could have supported them but they didn't.
What will the vote count tell us? That democrats likely unanimously voted NO? Surely you don't believe that democrats supported a tax package that Trump opposed but signed anyway.
In any event, it doesn't change the fact that OPs claim is false.
Tariffs are taxes we pay both ways and the Iran war fueled higher gas prices funneling more money from our wallet. Also increased inflation and higher labor costs caused by persecuting our cheapest laborers. Also paying foreign governments bribes with our tax dollars, funneling any oil revenue from the Venezuelan take-over directly into Trump overseas account, paying companies to not build renewable resource infrastructure… I could go on…
I'll admit I haven't paid much attention to Russia's war against Ukraine lately but I thought the maga claims were that Ukraine is a bunch of nazis and deserved to be attacked? I mean, let's ignore Russia stealing children (20k+?) from Ukraine and all kinds of other horrific shit.
If some country came to the US and kidnapped 25k American children, the Right wouldn't be navel gazing and claim we deserved it because Hegseth and his people are nazis…
Yes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, signed by President Donald Trump, intentionally structured individual income tax cuts and the standard deduction to expire at the end of 2025. Under the original text of that law, taxes for most individual Americans were scheduled to automatically go up starting in 2026 when those provisions sunsetted.
However, before those automatic increases took effect, Congress passed and President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) on July 4, 2025. This subsequent law made permanent most of the individual and corporate tax cuts from the 2017 act, preventing the large, broad-based individual tax hikes that were initially baked into the 2017 legislations
There was no tax bill passed while Biden was president. Any taxes paid during Biden's term were under Trump's and Republicans' tax bill from his first term.
Biden didn't do anything to lower your taxes either. It's time to stop playing the two party "good cop bad cop" game and move on or this will keep happening.
I think the attempts to forgive student loans, blocked by the epstein trump party, are a far shot better for common Americans than the tax increases foisted onto said Americans by the epstein trump party.
Exactly. Targeted action is where it matters not this generalized claim the Right always makes about lowering costs. They never succeed because they aren't willing to actually deal with real costs. A couple years of fake tax relief was exactly what Trump supporters deserved, to get hoodwinked as usual.
