Hey folks a tax deferral to future periods is not a tax cut. Any more than not paying off your credit cards this month is a cut in expenses. The only way taxes to cut taxes is to cut government costs [can you say veto].
I don't think anybody even campaigns on that anymore. I imagine it would help if the media wouldn't immediately demonize people who suggest it.
Wrong. If the government gives $100 billion in tax cuts to people whose cost of capital is 8% and the government borrows at 4%, that's a tax cut of $4 billion a year. Not even counting the added growth due to the incentive of keeping more of your own money.

Cutting spending would be an added bonus of course.
