And less taxes mean that the economy does well. Such as when the US industrialised, there were no taxes and busisness boomed. Lower taxes is an effort for Businesses to expad and to creat jobs.

Remember the economy cycles last more than four or eight years. The Prez's influences take time to take effect.
