I posted my comment about this somewhere in another thread.
As a citizen of the nation-state known as the United States of America, I pay from my pocket for private goods or anything from groceries to real-estate. I also pay for public goods, from which I might not benefit personally or directly. I know I have to pay for some public goods I don't want: such is the nature of collective decision-making and collective citizen obligation.
I might wish my taxes could be lower. But I resented the fact that Bush had lowered our taxes twice during wars on two fronts when they should have been raised. I was perfectly fine with the idea that my taxes might have gone up $1,000, as opposed to being reduced some $700. If I was against the Iraq War, I was entirely for the idea that taxes should be raised in wartime.
My personal gains of tax reduction from Trump's new tax law were totally insignificant, or about $200.
To hell with him, to hell with his Base, and to hell with his Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. I hope a downturn under any discernable business-cycle puts a hurt on enough people that they throw the Disaster-in-Chief under the bus. There are more important things than short-term monetary gains arising from under-funding public goods at the federal level.
And there's no such thing as a free lunch, whether it's a lunch, or clean air and medical care.
