Why would a certain wannabe autocrat propose drastic tax cuts of two trillion dollars (for mostly the super rich and big corporations), when those tax cuts he made the first time caused excessively greater deficits?
If corporations, the rich and average citizens do not pay taxes then the United States would go bankrupt.
The only way the United States generates the revenue to invest in infrastructure and other vital programs and support government officials and agencies, such as Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury and Education, is through taxes collected.
Why would having more money to spend on Defense be important?
Now, why would a certain wannabe autocrat want to drive the U.S. towards bankruptcy, thus having less money to allocate towards Defense and Homeland Security?
