Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017
Okay, kiddo, do you know what taxes are? They're like money you have to pay to the government. But sometimes, the government decides to make changes to how much people have to pay in taxes. That's what happened when they made the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
The people who made the law wanted to help out different groups of people. They wanted to give some people more money, because they thought that would help the economy.
So they decided to lower taxes for some people and businesses. That means that they had to pay less money to the government. The idea was that by keeping more of their own money, people would have more money to spend and invest in their own companies. And when they spend and invest more, it can help create more jobs and make the economy grow.
But not everyone got a tax cut. Some people actually had to pay more money in taxes. The people who make a lot of money usually had to pay more. The people who didn't own businesses or have a lot of investments might not have noticed a difference.
Overall, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was a big change to how taxes worked in America. Some people got more money, and some people didn't. The hope is that this will help create more jobs and make the economy even better.
