If you ask me, the bigger reason why people think their taxes were not cut is that the Administration changed the way withholding works so that people got their money in small amounts throughout the year, not in a refund at the end. Many people count on a tax refund to make big expenditures, and then it wasn't there, and they didn't realize they were getting it all along. That's a rare case where the Trump did something that is good for people but blew the communications strategy. Usually the opposite is true on both count.
