Analysis: Since Trump took office, Republicans — especially wealthy ones — view the tax system as more fair
President Trump signs the Tax Cut and Reform Bill on Dec. 22, 2017. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 4 at 3:36 PM By far the most significant piece of legislation to have been signed into law by President Trump was December 2017′s bill slashing corporate tax rates and reducing some income taxes for a decade.
The Pew Research Center continued several years of polling looking at how Americans view the tax system with new data released Thursday. The most significant finding was that, on a number of metrics, the gap between Democrats and Republicans has grown much, much wider. Perhaps more interestingly, the percentages of Republicans saying that the amount they paid was unfair also dropped after the passage of the Republican tax bill — while the percentage of Democrats saying that they paid an unfair amount had climbed. We noted last year that whether people believed they had received a tax break in their paychecks depended on their partisan identity.
The gulf is a result of movement by both parties. Wealthier Republicans are much more likely to see the system as fair than poorer Republicans. But wealthier Democrats are much less likely to see the system as fair than are poorer Democrats.
