Why have many presidents decided on tax cuts?
The simple answer if that if you ignore the long term costs of running a deficit, tax cuts are politically very attractive. The rank-and-file voter loves the sound of a tax cut. You must understand that the President can not raise or lower taxes. Only Congress can do that. The president can ask Congress to pass tax cuts but Congress can do as it pleases. What the current President likes to do is ask for tax cuts for most people, but tax hikes for the rich in order to keep the revenue the same. This is not likely to happen since rich people either are in Congress or else finance the campaigns that keep Congressmen in office. If Congress passes a tax cut for everybody (or renews an old tax cut that was set to expire), the President fears to veto it, because if he does , people will say he raised taxes and blame him and his party.
