Before you go to the ballot box, if you think that you can't afford something now, take into account the findings of the non-partisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that found under Trump's Tax Plan, 95 % of Americans (not in the richest 5%) would receive tax increases. BTW, Trump also drastically reduced charitable deductions on taxes when he was in office before (and all my donations meant nothing)- Today's blog includes an analysis of his plan for the Rich, and the HISTORY of what he did before.
A Distributional Analysis of Donald Trump’s Tax Plan

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy
found Trump’s tariff proposals would outweigh his tax cuts for all but the very
richest households.
Their Findings: Former President Donald Trump has proposed a
wide variety of tax policy changes. Taken together, these proposals would, on
average, lead to a tax cut for the richest 5 percent of Americans and a tax
increase for all other income groups.
If these
proposals were in effect in 2026, the richest 1 percent would receive an
average tax cut of about $36,300 and the next richest 4 percent would receive
an average tax cut of about $7,200. All other groups would see a tax increase
with the hike on the middle 20 percent at about $1,500 and the increase on the
lowest-income 20 percent of Americans at about $800.
Former President Trump has offered several tax proposals, which are all included in these estimates:
- Extending the temporary provisions in Trump’s 2017 tax law that will otherwise expire at the end of 2025, except for the $10,000 cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions, which Trump says he would not extend
- Exempting certain types of income from taxes (overtime pay, tips, and Social Security benefits)
- Reducing the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 20 percent and then further reducing it to 15 percent for “companies that make their product in America”
Repealing tax credits enacted as part of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act that provide incentives for the production and use of green energy - Imposing a new 20 percent tariff on imported goods, with a higher rate of 60 percent for goods from China

HISTORY LESSON - The 2017 Trump Tax Law Was Skewed to the Rich, Expensive, and Failed to Deliver on Its Promises
The tax law that benefitted wealthy Americans, making over $400,000 annually, and more so to those making over $1 million, are about to end in 2025... IF Trump is not re-elected. Those tax cuts have made a much bigger disparity in wealth between the top 1% vs. the rest of us (99%). Here are the facts from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. You MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF! Although this is a bit dry, it's important.
UPDATED JUNE 13, 2024 | BY CHUCK MARR, SAMANTHA JACOBY AND GEORGE FENTON The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Policymakers and the public should understand that the 2017 Trump tax law:
- Was skewed to the rich. Was expensive and eroded the U.S. revenue base. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated in 2018 that the 2017 law would cost $1.9 trillion over ten years,
- New research shows that workers who earned less than about $114,000 on average in 2016 saw “no change in earnings”
2017 Trump Tax Law Was Skewed to the Top for Wealthy People and Profitable Corporations The tax cuts [in 2025] will average $61,090 for the top 1 percent — and $252,300 for the top one-tenth of 1 percent.
Households With Incomes in Top 1 Percent Benefit Most From 2017 Trump Tax Law The centerpiece of the law was a deep, permanent cut in the corporate tax rate — from 35 percent to 21 percent — and a shift toward a territorial tax system, which exempts certain foreign income of multinational corporations from tax.
