Why did the tax cuts sunset but mostly or only for the middle class.

Whoever wrote and supported that bill with an 8 year expiration was being too clever by half.

Because the people who wrote the bill had a certain agenda and it didn’t include middle class tax cuts.

The expired because of the Byrd Rule. We didn’t have the 60 votes needed to make it permanent at the time the bill was passed so it had a sunset provision from the beginning.

Most likely a budget issue.
