The tax reforms have been favorable to large corporations, as they allow them to enjoy an effective tax rate of 21% or lower. The thing is, they have the opposite effect on individual taxpayers, who might have to pay more taxes instead. This is especially true for those who reside in high-tax states with skyrocketing property values. The rich will eventually benefit in the long run from this new law with such a permanent tax cut.
