WASHINGTON, D.C. – Middle-class families will get an outsized share of the tax cuts from President Trump’s working families tax cut, according to new analysis done by the Tax Policy Center, a left-leaning think tank. The study finds middle-class earners will get a $1,780 tax cut – a tax cut which every single House and Senate Democrat voted against. 

“Even left-leaning academics cannot deny the facts: President Trump and Republicans delivered for the working families of America. Moms and dads, waitresses, line workers, welders, cops, and seniors will all see bigger paychecks thanks to Republicans’ working families tax cuts. Despite Democrat lies, the fact is that President Trump made the tax code fairer and more beneficial for working class Americans while placing a greater share of the tax burden on the wealthy,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08). “The tax cuts will put more money in the pockets of working families and give them a bigger boost compared to the wealthy Americans that Democrats chose to shower with tax breaks under President Biden.”

Highlights: 

• Middle Class Gets Outsized Cut: The middle 20 percent of earners, will get 13 percent of the total tax cut while only currently paying 10 percent of all income tax. This means a $1,780 tax cut for every middle-income taxpayer from all of President Trump’s tax cuts. 
• Working Families Get Outsized Cut: Taxpayers in the bottom 40 percent of earners will see their taxes cut by 15 percent. The lowest 20 percent of earners get the largest reduction in taxes of any income group.
• Top 1 Percent Will Pay a Larger Share: The working families tax cut increases the share of federal income taxes paid by the top 1 percent of taxpayers to nearly 35 percent.
