History

Historical Context

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed by President Trump on December 22, 2017, reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, aiming to stimulate economic growth. However, independent analyses indicated that the wealthiest Americans would benefit disproportionately, with the top 1% receiving significant tax cuts while many lower-income households faced increased tax burdens by 2027, exacerbating income inequality.
