The Facts:

82% of middle-class Americans saw a tax cut in 2018, the average savings was more than $1,260.

Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, 90% of workers saw an increase in take-home pay after the IRS adjusted withholding tables to reflect the new law.

These gains were reflected in the 3.3% wage growth during 2018, the best in a decade.

As promised, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accelerated job growth by nearly 25%, pushed unemployment to historic lows, and kickstarted stellar GDP growth.

Opportunity Zones incentivized investors to put their money into distressed communities.
