You're assuming I'm cutting your taxes as well as your tax rates.  That might not be a good assumption.  For example, I might be taking away all your deductions, leaving your tax burden as high or higher than before, even with the reduced tax rates.

A self-employed plumber will have business deductions that are never going to be cut.  The outrage from the business community makes that simply impossible.  Of course, a suicidal maniac might get it done, but the result would never hold.  That POTUS and all enabling members of Congress would lose their jobs in the next election -- and they know it.
