Important to point out that this was a bill that was mostly written in secret and it wasnt released to the public for people to really see until last friday its more than five hundred pages long and so tax experts and analysts are still trying to sift through it all but essentially what this does is democrats are saying and critics and most americans according to polls see this is a giveaway to the rich they see it as a tort tax breaks mostly for the wealthy the top one percent of income earners corporations that are already very wealthy getting huge tax breaks and the tax breaks for individuals being relatively small in comparison and they point to the fact that in this bill the tax cuts for corporations are permanent the tax cuts for individual families expire theyre not permanent and so eventually they will go away and the burden of whos going to pay for these tax breaks will fall on middle class americans and working poor thats key working poor americans and not only that it will also explode the deficit here in the u. S. By more than one point four trillion dollars so add all that up together and the vast majority of americans according to these polls are looking at this tax a tax overhaul with a very skeptical eye and really saying is this really going to benefit working poor and middle americans most people say probably not in the long term still to come or not is there.
