"So, as a result of the TCJA, high earners PAID MORE TAXES to the government, while EVERYONE ELSE PAID LESS! They also paid a larger percentage of all taxes, while everyone else paid a smaller percentage."
And as for the effect of the SALT reduction on the mIddle- class
While there is no accepted definition for the “middle class,” median family income in 2018 was $63,179, so let’s look at taxpayers making between $50,000 and $100,000.
In 2018, there were about 35 million taxpayers in this bracket, an increase of roughly one million over 2017 (a growing middle class). In total, they owed $31 billion less in 2018 than in 2017. In other words, the middle class got nearly half of the $64 billion decline in taxes owed under the TCJA.
As for their share of the tax burden, it also declined. While they accounted for 22 percent of total income (roughly the same as in 2017), their share of income taxes was 13 percent (over a percentage point less than in 2017).
