It's just as disingenuous as scaling back a proposed budget increase and calling it a "cut".
The FTC wouldn't let businesses get away with such language, why should the government get a pass?
I’d wager most people would consider those scenario cuts. However, in your framework, the verbiage is different despite a shared outcome.
The taxes were cut 8 years ago. There aren't further "cuts". Billionare tax rates have been the same for the last 8 years, and will continue at the same rate at least into next year.
Are you not aware that these things are different? That there is a difference between an adjustment to a proposed budget and a budget that has been enshrined in law?
What's the magical time horizon that changes this? If I change the taxes due for 2026, is that a tax cut? How about 2027? Where's the line between a change in law that is or is not a tax cut with this philosophy?
If you want consistency, a change in law that adjusts the tax burden downward from what the burden would be without the change in law is a tax cut. Therefore, a change in the law that makes previously temporary reduced tax levels into permanent reduced tax levels is a tax cut.
