Moore has some interesting ideas here. #3 on his list (capital gains tax deferment) should be dropped entirely because it doesn't benefit most voters and is too complicated for voters to understand.

Here's something else to consider:

Meanwhile, Mr. Trump and the Republicans in Congress have the 2017 tax cut to trumpet — a reform that by almost any objective measure has worked better for workers and middle class families than we even expected.

That measure worked so well for workers and middle class families that the GOP lost control of the House in 2018.

Focus on tax cuts and other economic policies that actually BENEFIT VOTERS DIRECTLY.

Item #1 on the list should be an across-the-board cut in payroll tax rates -- both for employees AND employers.

Problem with that is you deplete the Social Security funds, increasing pressure to cut Social Security. If you think cutting Social Security is a winner with average voters - including in the rust belt states that elected Trump - I urge you to think again

Instead of tax cuts Trump should finally propose infrastructure, as he repeatedly promised - to loud cheers - in his Rust belt campaign rallies in 2016.
