- Lower taxes on families making less than $200,000/yr
โMaybe? The tax brackets are the same 7 tax brackets as before, with the median 200k tax burden at 24%. However standard deductions have been increased slightly (and by slightly I literally mean by just a couple hundred dollars). Meanwhile the lower tax brackets for people making under 50k and under 12k a year have been increased by 4%. So, fuck the poor forever over the price of a new iPhone I guess.
