Published April 12, 2019 4:00am ET



Tax Day is always bad because Americans are overtaxed. But this Tax Day, we can celebrate the fact that an overwhelming majority of people are being taxed less, thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Republicans passed in late 2017.

The sound and fury over this legislation was deafening. There was a deliberate attempt to trick the public into believing the bill was a middle-class tax increase. Most big media outlets were duped by this Democratic propaganda campaign, or went along with it willingly. As a result, most taxpayers assumed the bill would dip deeper into their bank accounts. It didn’t help that Republicans passed the bill in a haphazard way at the very end of 2017.
