There's no such thing as a permanent tax cut. The tax picture gets jiggied every year in the budget, if anything these "sunseted" tax cuts are more permanent because there's a window when they're not allowed to mess with that part.

In all my 40 years of working, mostly I cringed with each 'tax cut', as normally that meant my takehome pay went down. Only once, on one year, during Reagan, did my pay check actually go up after a 'tax cut'. I got a $1.34 per month increase in my take home pay. All the other 'tax cuts', my take home pay always went down.
