Republicans believe in the government not taking money it doesn't need from everyone in the first place. In other words, let people keep their own money.

But that's not what's going on with this specific policy. They're not letting people - generally - keep their own money. They're letting a very specific subset of people keep more of their money than any other subset of people. And since the Republicans do fail spectacularly on not spending what it doesn't have, that de facto means that allowing that specific subset of people pay fewer taxes means that other people will have to make up the difference.

Which means that this policy is just as much "redistributing other people's money to whatever group is currently in favor" in actual practice, just like you accuse the Democrats of doing. It's a election-cycle tactic to try to provide a special benefit to one discrete group of people and not others.
