It was sarcasm. Lowering taxes is often touted by right wing leaning economic politicians as a way of boosting the economy and making it more competitive. But that 1) only works in certain types of economic landscapes 2) has a dubious track record, and 3) leaves out of the picture that often tax cuts often come at the expense of social programs (in its most extreme, right-wing form, see Starve the Beast) Since, in America, the party that most strongly advocates tax cuts, tends to do so to the benefit of the rich, and at the expense of labor and labor-helping social and enforcement programs, I was trying to make a joke to point out how absurd an argument OP was making.
