..."The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made sweeping changes to America’s tax laws. Signed into law by then-President Donald Trump and approved with only Republican support in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the TCJA permanently slashed corporate tax rates and changed the way the nation taxes the profits of U.S. multinational corporations.1 It also temporarily cut personal income and estate taxes, changes that largely benefited the wealth.
In the run-up to the law’s passage, Trump and his leading economic advisers claimed that the benefits of the bill would trickle down, resulting in substantial gains for U.S. workers and their families and for the U.S. economy as a whole.2 Critics at the time argued that these claims were unlikely to come to pass.3 Now, more than six years later, there is little evidence that the law’s costly corporate tax cuts delivered promised growth or improved well-being for the vast majority of the nation’s workforce. Instead, the law provided the largest tax cuts to the wealthy and profitable corporations, exacerbated inequality, and eroded revenues that could otherwise have been used to address national priorities.
The upcoming debate in Congress over the future of the law’s temporary changes to personal and estate tax provisions provides lawmakers with the opportunity to revisit the law’s corporate changes. This issue brief reviews the evidence showing that the 2017 corporate law changes failed to deliver promised benefits and should be reformed."

I don't know if John Adams actually said this, but the sentiment is on point.
