Most voters arent noticing more money in their paychecks under the new tax law, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.
Just a quarter of registered voters, 25 percent, say they have noticed an increase in their paycheck, the poll shows. A majority, 51 percent, say they have not.
Among employed voters those working in the private and public sectors, plus those who are self-employed a larger percentage, 37 percent, have noticed an uptick on their pay stubs. But 53 percent say they havent.
Self-identified Republicans are more likely to say they have seen a larger paycheck under the new law (32 percent) than Democrats (21 percent) or independents (22 percent).

(50,949 posts)did a little quick figuring and I know that I am going to be slammed next year. The little more will be dwarfed by the increase in my tax bill.
Most of the lost deductions result from the fact that I work for a living, and I live in an apartment instead of a house.

(51,590 posts)51% of Americans support the Tax Scam. I thought that when it was being brought up for a vote that the majority saw through the scam and realized it would really permanently benefit the 1% and everyone else would suffer over the next 10 years.

The tax scam is a loot and scoot operation -- rob the 99 to pay the 1 and then get away and let Democrats be the grinches to fix it. See link in 'sig'.
