Trump calls for one-year payroll tax cut

President Trump called for a one-year payroll tax cut in a tweet ⁠— although it's unlikely House Democrats will listen to him.

"The Democrats in the House should propose a very simple one year Payroll Tax cut. Great for the middle class, great for the USA!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

Top White House officials were reportedly considering temporary payroll tax cut last summer.

"Temporary payroll tax cuts haven't worked out the way presidents hope they will. Both [George] W. Bush and [Barack] Obama had them, and each were disappointed," tax expert Ryan Ellis told FOX Business. "People don't realize they get it, or they don't believe it. It's a similar phenomenon to how people don't believe they got a Trump tax cut when almost everyone did. Your direct deposit goes up and down a lot, and people don't read pay stubs at all, much less compare them over time."

TAX CUTS 2.0 COULD INCLUDE THIS MIDDLE-CLASS WINDFALL: KUDLOW

Trump's statement comes as his administration is sharing snippets of a possible middle-class tax cut plan. The Trump administration is working to introduce such a plan by September, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo.

During a meeting in the Oval Office, Kudlow said, Trump urged Kudlow to "get it out by September," which would be two months before the 2020 election.

"What ends up happening is that people treat this as a one-time windfall, and end up saving the money or paying down debt," Ellis said. "That's fine, but proponents often tout a Keynesian stimulus effect. Never happens."
