Tax cuts are often advocated by people thinking they will grow the economy. In most cases that doesn't work as it takes more to grow an economy than just tax cuts.
Deregulation might do more, but again it takes more than just that. Economies grow from many things like abundant natural resources, innovation, education, infrastructure improvements and so forth. In some cases, reducing regulation harms the environment thus hurting the economy; for instance tourism.
Maybe repealing the 2017 tax cuts would be somewhat of a shock, but Republicans should not add more tax cuts on top of the already low taxes that are skewed mostly to the wealthy. Our system seems teetering on bankruptcy more than ever.
Greed is a big problem. We can never grow the economy enough to be totally satisfying. We need to strive for a sustainable economy instead.
