lower taxes
Reduced government revenue
Lower taxes refers to reduced rates of taxation, typically as a policy goal or campaign promise.
The phrase functions as both description and slogan: The candidate promised lower taxes for middle-class families.
Politicians across the spectrum invoke lower taxes, though they often disagree on whose taxes should be lowered and by how much.
The phrase carries positive connotations—who wants higher taxes?—which makes it rhetorically powerful even when the specifics remain vague.
