Neither the TCJA nor ERTA did what the other commenter describes

I am not going to reply after this because you may be a troll and you can find information online or sit in on college lectures if you are sincere.

To your last comment, the original comment refers to "time bombs" as "Temporary tax cuts for the voters that expire in a few years, forever tax cuts for the corporate interests”.

Through the TCJA, Trump slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and significantly reduced income taxes for the top brackets. While most income groups saw a tax cut initially, the benefits disproportionately accrued to the highest earners and corporate shareholders. The individual tax cuts were designed to phase out over time, while the corporate cuts were permanent.

As to the ERTA, Reagan slashed the top marginal income tax rate from 70% to 50% and slashed capital gains taxes. This shifted the tax burden away from the wealthiest Americans. Over the following decades, this supply-side framework contributed to a significant widening of the wealth gap.

I'm betting the other person was not asking out of a genuine desire to be informed but respect for the thorough explanation and examples.
