I track the monthly Treasury statements and found before COVID, taxes COLLECTED went UP when Trump cut the rates on business because he made it easier for them to operate, put a tariff on imported competition and made it more profitable for them to invest in growth. Something I've advocated since high school when I was a moderate Democrat arguing with idiot very young far-left teachers at my high school that their ideas were bunk because they removed the incentive to work hard, keep learning and do better than the person next to them. Trump should have raised taxes one something to pay for more military spending... which went up faster than the increase in taxes collected if I recall my data.
