The MAGA strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand massive cuts to programs that all Americans rely on.
4) Repeat.

If anyone wants to cut taxes, they are not serious about the budget. It's as simple as that. No amount of acceptable (to the American people) spending cuts can come close to balancing the budget. So, tax cuts should be off the table. Tax increases should be being explored, identifying those that are not paying much (if anything).

It's really simple math. No trig or calculus required. Just arithmetic.**

**Though identifying areas of under-taxation will be a little trickier. We can start with inherited wealth, often shielded by shelters.
