New data show risk to Democrats of fully repealing Trump tax cuts

A new analysis by the Joint Committee of Taxation, which is tasked with providing the official analysis of tax policy for members of Congress, demonstrates the risk to Democrats who choose to run on fully repealing President Trump’s tax cuts.

Democrats have widely condemned the cuts as a giveaway to the rich. Though there were significant benefits to corporations and those with higher incomes (depending on where they lived), the tax law also included many provisions that cut taxes for middle-class families and squeezed wealthier households.
