Good points by Carlitos. I agree. I'll make one other comment:
US total tax revenues as a percent of GDP are about 17.6 percent (2016). This ranks third lowest amongst OECD countries according to statistics for 2014. I'm not sure what is included or excluded as I've seen other numbers that suggest a number closer to 24 percent. Part of the variability is the GDP component of the calculation.
Federal Receipts as Percent of Gross Domestic Product
In any case, I think we have reached a point where politicians promising "tax relief" will have a hard time delivering without cuts in spending or increases in the deficits and, of course, federal debt.
So if we cut corporate taxes to help businesses prosper and hire, then unless productivity (GDP) is increased, it is hard to see the benefit to society and employment, especially so because we are approaching levels of maximum employment of skilled workers. In any case, the improved productivity may come more from investment in robots rather than the training and hiring unskilled and semi-skilled workers.
I've been traveling in remote places and haven't had good internet access the past week.
