Elimination of the personal and dependents exemption was sneaky. The objection is the tax cuts are peanuts for most, but not so much for the richest 1% and megacorporations, which is fueling the deficits and national debt, now at record highs. (A household earning $1 million or more will get an average cut of $69,660, an income bump of 3.3 percent. Compare that with the a tax cut of $870, or 1.6 percent, for the average household earning $50,000 to $75,000.)
Ironically, blue states that link their tax system to the feds are reaping the benefits because their standard deductions are low and you can't itemize if you take the federal standard deduction. So lots of people (me!) are paying more overall.
BTW: "By 2027, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, every income group below $75,000 will actually see a tax increase. Only those income ranges above $75,000 will still see a cut by 2027. And according to the Tax Policy Center, only taxpayers higher than the 90th percentile -- that is, those earning about $225,000 and above -- will have better-than-even odds of getting a tax cut in 2027."
