Because the commies and socialists will steal your guns, turn your kids gay, have state funded abortions, twerk, eat hot chips and lie if you don’t vote red.

General strike is still legal and more efficient than not paying taxes which will land you in jail. Withhold the means of production long enough and Trump might just fall out a window.
I'm sorry but that's bullshit.
strike is more efficient than not paying taxes
that's the bullshit. The government, like any organization, is utterly dependent in financial input. Without it, they fall over. Withholding taxes is the strongest move that protesters can make.

"still legal"
Since when has that ever mattered? Remember, the first unions and labor strikes weren't legal but that didn't stop them. They didn't become legal until we forced the State to meet us on equal terms.

Corporate tax cuts are economic growth, which helps approval ratings.
Deficits are an easy way to please everyone by offloading austerity to the future.
So every government in all of human history has borrowed from the future, and have even curated their economists to push a message that deflation is dangerous and that debt needs to be monetized.
Then for some reason debt has exploded, crypto and risk stocks are completely disconnected from reality, and the bailouts get larger and larger.
On the other hand, austerity politics (aka "don't spend money in order to reduce the national debt") tend not to work, either, because they offload maintenance to the future. Repairing broken infrastructure costs more than keeping it from breaking in the first place.
I suppose you could just raise taxes but even with WWII-level tax ceilings it's damn expensive to run a country.
Well dont forget you obviously need to cut taxes as well for economic growth, while you run these fat deficits maintaining this "critical infrastructure".
I generally find that cutting taxes is more popular with the politicians who think that reducing the debt is more important than a functioning power grid and bridges that don't collapse. Don't ask me how the hell reducing tax income is supposed to help with the deficit but it's probably built on the assumption that the ~~kickbacks~~ economic growth will make up for it.
