The bottom 60 percent of Americans will get just 4 percent of the benefits from Trump’s budget. If you’re in that bracket but still voting for Trump, you’ve been conned.

A pie chart titled "How the spoils from the Trump Budget will be distributed," showing the distribution of change in resources per household due to tax and spending provisions by household income. The chart is dominated by a large red section labeled "Richest 10%" at 63%, followed by smaller sections: 9th decile at 15%, 8th decile at 10%, 7th decile at 4%, and a small black slice labeled "1" representing the bottom 60% of the income distribution, which shares a total of 4% of the spoils. Text highlights that the black slice is "everybody else" – the bottom 60%. The chart is sourced from CBO's January 2025 baseline, with credit to @JustinWolfers
and the CBO report "How the 2025 Reconciliation Act (Public Law 119-21) Will Affect the Distribution of Resources Available to Households."
