The middle class hasn’t had it easy in recent years. From record inflation during the Biden administration to stubbornly high interest rates, economic sentiment hasn’t fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. But there are clear signs that, despite these headwinds, the economic picture is improving. The U.S. economy is outperforming its global peers thanks to a competitive domestic consumer economy that lets working families keep more of what they earn. One year in, Republicans’ signature legislation is delivering for the middle class.When President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress passed the Working Families Tax Cuts, they made good on their promise to deliver lower taxes and a federal framework built to last. This landmark legislation reshapes the tax code to support Main Street businesses, spur domestic investment in manufacturing and energy, and deliver the largest proportional tax relief directly to the middle class.The predictable line from Democrats was that these tax cuts were for the rich. The Joint Committee on Taxation’s nonpartisan data blows that talking point apart. The immediate tax cuts in this law overwhelmingly benefit low- and middle-income people, with workers earning under $50,000 a year receiving the largest percentage cuts in their federal tax bills. Filers making between $15,000 and $30,000 saw their federal tax liability plunge by 27.3%. For millionaires? Just 3.3%.
