It leaves more money for consumers to spend, making more jobs for suppliers of goods and services, which makes more jobs for more people to spend more money. That way, the government can make more money because more people are paying more taxes. If government RAISES taxes, the consumer ultimately looses.

Imagine taxes based on a continuum. If taxes are zero, the government gets no taxes. If taxes are 100%, taxpayers quit working and the government gets zero again. Somewhere along the line is a place on the continuum where the government gets the maximum that it needs to operate and taxpayers get to keep the most possible. Raising taxes doesn't always result in more money to the government. Sometimes, by taking too much money out of the taxpayers pockets the government AND THE TAXPAYERS loose.

Lower taxes means that businesses have more money to expand the business including hiring new staff and increasing spending on new projects.

Lower taxes also mean that consumers are able to buy more expensive goods because they have more disposable income.

The price of Exported goods and services would be less expensive, which makes them more competitive and businesses abroad will see and increase in sales and profit.

Taxes are a needed evil. They NEVER help an economy. They can prevent one from growing. They can be used to slow an economy. Taxes hurt the people that pay them. A over taxed economy fails.
