Standard supply side theory. Reduce tax overhead, reduce size of government, increase availability of capital for private investment, give people back the money to either spend, start businesses, or invest in markets. Money is more productive in private hands; government acts as a money sink that locks up wealth in unproductive cul-de-sacs. Government is inefficient; free markets are efficient.

Read Milton Friedman, not anti-Trump hit pieces that predict disaster.
