Trump Tax Cut Truths

NOTE: The Trump Tax Cut Truths website is no longer being updated on a regular basis, as it was for well over a year following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017. Over that period, the pattern of how corporations are spending their tax cuts—overwhelmingly on shareholders and not workers—has been clearly established. But the connection between corporate decisions and the new tax law becomes increasingly uncertain with the passage of time.

This ATF compilation regularly updates media reports on the effects of the Trump-GOP tax cuts. A May 2019 Congressional Research Service report provides a non-partisan view of the effects of the Trump-GOP tax cuts.
