    I generally find that cutting taxes is more popular with the politicians who think that reducing the debt is more important than a functioning power grid and bridges that don’t collapse. Don’t ask me how the hell reducing tax income is supposed to help with the deficit but it’s probably built on the assumption that the kickbacks economic growth will make up for it.

      Those politicians pushing tax cust don’t actually want to decrease spending. They ALWAYS actually increase it, they just use that narrative to fight against spending on the people instead of into their rich buddies’ pockets
