<<Since cutting taxes is so great for the economy, shall we just get rid of all taxes, wouldn't that solve all the problems?>>

The country got along without income taxes until the 16th Amendment in 1913. That's 137 years.

I'm not saying to get rid of all taxes but when the economy is slow cutting taxes is one way to boost it. When the economy is strong you can tax it more. That's just common sense.
