Assuming MM is right, and i do assume that, if he is in perpetual debt, he has no income to tax. So, he wouldn't be paying taxes now.

Those cuts don't benefit him directly. He's just an idiot that got bamboozled by Ryan and the norquistians who still want to drive the government to the point of bankruptcy to trigger their orgasmic Rand fantasies about an economic anarcho-oligopoly.

Those cuts were his ideas. He was just too dumb to figure out they were a bad and unnecessary idea.
