There is a difference between taking less in taxes and giving out cash payments. How that plays out is unknown, though the Covid relief programs are a likely better experiment than this German experiment.

The difference being only rich people benefit from tax cuts.

I'm middle class, I find benefit in lower taxes for my company and family. When the government takes 50% of the money we earn and then is irresponsible with it, that is a problem.

Yes it is a problem but the solution isn’t tax cuts it’s better governance.

Citations? or opinions?

I believe that a more efficient govt would requires fewer funds, so both together would be most ideal.

If we could provide for all with lower taxes, would that be ok?

The problem I see today is the inability to have nuanced, fact based conversations about the issues
