That only 1% benefitted is crap. Either that, or by some quirk of fate, I, a middle class retiree, am somehow in the 1%, because my taxes went down by $1000.
Plus anyone who has stock, or an IRA or 401k benefitted. That's way more than 1%. Anyone with a half way decent job has a company 401k, most retirees have some type of retirement account. Those all increased in the last 3 years. Millions of run of the mill, middle class folks benefitted. Did people in NYC, New Jersey, Chicago or LA benefit ? maybe not, sorry for their luck.

Short term you got a benefit, and we added a trillion to the deficit.
Long term that benefit will expire except for the very top of the heap....he went up late, and I was already up there.

Well... not exactly. Despite the tax cuts, the US Government took took in more revenue in FY2019 than ever before in history. https://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/..._revenue_chart
But... you are correct that we added to the deficit, but it’s because our crooked political friends (both parties and the President) can’t stop spending like drunken sailors, not because of the tax cuts."...treat 'em with respect, or get out of the Gym!"

Obviously the Democratic talking points are going to be about the top 1 percent (the have and have nots). It always has been, but it might be a harder narrative to use this time for the middle class. Are they better off, some people think so and not so much for others. It all depends on what people read and which political party they’re part of.
Here’s an article that concludes the middle class is doing better financially. Ironically using same data (Census Bureau’s) which was used by the Economist who won the Nobel. Not saying which one is correct, but shouldn’t we be rooting for all Americans? Was going to throw in my two cents about revenues, but just saw Muskie in Dayton’s post and think he nailed it.

They’re all hypocrites. As I’ve said before, if the facts were the same, but it was a democratic president saying the same thing to the president of Ukraine, the Republicans would be calling for impeachment and the Democrats and media would be saying the impeachment is a political hatchet job.
This link shows the Democrats and media essentially saying the thing the Republicans are saying now during the Clinton impeachment. There is one difference, President Clinton actually did commit a crime by lying under oath to the FBI.
