For those keeping track, under GOP/Trump "leadership":
—working/middle class wages are stagnant
—gas prices are going up
—healthcare prices are going up
—prices for a vast array of consumer products are going up due to (needless) trade wars
—the super-rich are getting richer

Any financial benefit a working or middle class family received from the #GOPTaxScam is more than countered by the increased prices for pretty much everything else (including, ironically, federal taxes collected at the ports due to Trump's tariffs).
When Trump boasts about the billions being collected from tariffs at the border... THOSE ARE TAXES BEING PAID BY CONSUMERS!
To add insult to injury, tariffs are also REGRESSIVE taxes; lower/middle class folks pay relatively more of their income in tariffs than the rich.
