A new report from Rocky Mountain Values and the Colorado Fiscal Institute, Continuing 45 Years of Inequitable Tax Policy: Colorado Impacts, lays bare the devastating consequences of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on hardworking Coloradans and warns of even greater risks if future conservative tax plans are implemented.

The report highlights how the TCJA disproportionately benefited corporations and the wealthy while shifting costs onto middle-class families, rural communities, and critical safety net programs.
