“Democrats always raise your taxes! Republicans cut them!”
What You Say
CBO and Treasury data show the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act disproportionately benefited top earners while adding trillions to deficits. Biden pledged no tax hikes on households under $400K and signed legislation extending ACA subsidies. 'Tax cuts' that expire for workers but not corporations aren't middle-class wins — they're timed campaign gifts funded by debt. Check the distributional tables, not the rally signs.
The Stab
Show me your W-2. Did your taxes actually fall?
