Politico: Few voters report seeing bigger paychecks after tax changes
Guess who isn’t seeing an increase in their paychecks under the GOP tax scam? The middle class. After Republicans gave 83% of their tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise but take a look at polling from Politico/Morning Consult this morning outlining that working Americans are not seeing more take home pay from the GOP tax law:
“Most voters aren’t noticing more money in their paychecks under the new tax law, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.”
“Just a quarter of registered voters, 25 percent, say they have noticed an increase in their paycheck, the poll shows. A majority, 51 percent, say they have not.”
“‘Our polling shows high-income earners are more likely to have noticed an increase in their paychecks as a result of the tax bill,’ said Kyle Dropp, Morning Consult’s co-founder and chief research officer. ‘For example, 40 percent of voters who earn more than $100,000 said they have noticed a pay increase in the past several weeks. In contrast, 33 percent of voters who earn between $50,000 and $100,000 and 16 percent of voters who earn under $50,000 said the same.’”
