Middle class tax cuts? Yeah.
Upper echelon tax cuts? Nope. They may "increase revenue" but never enough to cover the cuts themselves. Basically net negative.

Less money in govt = less power
Less power in govt = less enforcement against consumer rip offs, polluters, and racists.
Simple formula they've been able to cover with talking points since Reagan.
