I wouldn't expect a substantial reduction in taxes anytime soon (or ever). As an American, you are already enjoying what is one of the lowest tax rates in the world. Well, unless you include the Middle East, parts of Asia, and Eastern Europe. Even still, the average U.S. tax rate is close to the global average.
If you consider the richer, developed nations exclusively, I would say the U.S. tax rate is relatively low, not high.
