AI evaluation of Trump Tax cuts;
• Increased income inequality: The benefits of the tax cuts flowed disproportionately to wealthy corporations and high-income households.
◦ Benefits skewed to the wealthy: Corporate tax cuts primarily benefited wealthy shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks.
◦ Exacerbated racial disparities: Analysis by The Conversation found the cuts worsened existing disparities by especially hurting low-income Black taxpayers and decreasing health insurance coverage.
Effects on national debt and inequality
• Increased national debt: The TCJA added between $1 trillion and $2 trillion to the federal debt over its first decade, according to analyses from the Tax Policy Center (
https://taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-did-tcja-affect-federal-budget-outlook) and Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The additional debt and associated interest costs risk crowding out private investment and increasing long-term interest rates.
