Yesterday will be remembered as the day on which the Republicans managed to agree on something.

Just weeks after revealing their fiscal project, the Republicans managed to get the House to approve its reform plan that must be reconciled with the guidelines of the Senate Finance Committee, in a strategy that will affect "every corner of the country's economy,” as CNN reported.

"The House bill would mean tax cuts on average for all income groups in 2018 and most income groups in 2027, but the biggest benefits go to those at the top, according to the Tax Policy Center," the report continues.

This does not imply that every income group will pay less. On the contrary, the Tax Policy Center estimates that next year "next year about 10% of middle income filers and 20% of the highest income households would pay more”.
