In reply to the discussion: Roll back the Bush and trump tax cuts. [View all]WarGamer
(12,491 posts)28. Ironically... WE shouldn't want the Trump Tax Cuts to expire in 2025.
The wealthy and Corps got permanent tax cuts.
You know WHO loses THEIR tax cuts in 2025 if they expire?
Individual Tax Payers... individual rates will go back to pre-Trump levels.
For example:
Current 12% bracket to 15%
Current 22% bracket to 25%
Current 32% bracket to 33%
Current 37% bracket to 39.6%
That's a BIG hit for low/mid to middle income earners.
Make THESE rates permanent and go after actual wealthy people. Oh nevermind... the wealthy are never made to pay.
