Unfortunately for the GOP and President Trump, Americans are not rejoicing at the small incremental change in their monthly take-home pay made possible by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Senator HeidiHeitkamp says. investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)
If you ask any Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate what is the most significant fiscal accomplishment of the Trump presidency, the overwhelming answer would be the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA.
Well, April 15 is here, tax returns are being filed and Americans remain unconvinced of the equity and the value of the TCJA. A Morning Consult/Politico poll taken in December 2018 reported that, of those polled, only 23% saw an increase in their take-home pay, and 60% did not. Now, as Americans file their returns, they similarly are not seeing anything that will improve their opinion of the TCJA.
