The bottom did not get a tax cut.

People who had more than the SALT cap did not get a tax cut, because itemizing limits hurt if you have high property taxes.

Last year the rates on middle class started to increase and will continue to increase as the posion pill the Rethugs put in the bill to pay for the corporate and uberrich gifts.

A small sum in the first year and more taxes over the next 3 is not a tax cut. It is a scam.
