    I strongly disagree with bolded statement. I worked out the tax savings for the median income on this board. There is NO arguing with the math.
    You do understand median is different than mean, yes?

    As noted earlier, the increase in the standard deduction and child and dependent
    credit was roughly offset by the elimination of the personal exemption.

    Overall the report doesn't support the statement either, with the closest it comes to supporting is the bit above. It does point out an overall reduction int eh marginal rate.

    "A cut" to be sure for the average payer, especially if you factor in the wealthiest people who got the lions share of the cut.

    What hte article was spot on though, was that all the other things this cut was supposed to do, didn't happen.

    No massive wage growth.
    No massive economic boost.

    What happened was a lot of stock buy back happened. The corporate tax cut also went to the wealthiest Americans.

    So basically we borrowed money to give to rich people.

    The things you have to tell yourself.

    Stop pretending that your motivations are intrinsic. You're just j/o. Of course you have an eye on your bottom line; and if you're spouting sh** that's against it, then there's your first clue, snowflake.
    not understanding the difference between anecdotes and data.

    You do you little guy, you do you.
