It’s been six months since the GOP passed their tax scam, and in that time, the bill has only gotten less popular—as it becomes clearer every day that it was just a giveaway to the wealthiest 1%, corporations, and Wall Street.

As of this week, a new poll shows that just 34% of Americans approve of the bill, compared to 40% who said they approved of it in April.

Vox: The Republican tax law is becoming less popular, not more

Emily Stewart – June 22, 2018

Key points:

• It’s been six months since President Donald Trump signed into law the Republican tax cuts. During that time, the measure appears to have become less popular.

• According to a Monmouth University poll released this week, just 34% of Americans said they approve of the Republican tax reform package, compared to 41% who disapprove. That’s down from April, when 40% of Americans said they approved of the law and 44% did not.

• The law is designed to benefit corporations and the richest Americans most. It reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, and the top 1% of individual earners are expected to receive about 80% of the legislation’s gains.

• While ordinary Americans may not be feeling the law in their lives, corporate America and Wall Street certainly are: Corporate stock buybacks are booming this year, thanks in part to the tax cuts. Companies such as Apple, Cisco, Pepsi, Wells Fargo, and Harley-Davidson have announced major stock repurchase plans this year.

• And that’s not always translating into a positive impact on their workers: Wells Fargo has been laying off workers, for example, and Harley-Davidson is closing its Kansas City plant.
