By law, what you owe in taxes is not "your money." So yes, reducing what
someone owes in taxes is giving that person a handout. There is no counter argument so don't waste your breath; that is what it is.
The question is whether there is a transfer from one group (usually framed as the poor or working class) to the rich in this scenario. To get there you have to claim that the tax cut money comes out of infrastructure spending. It likely doesn't; it just will add to more debt. So what it really is, at the end of the day, is just more GOP generational wealth transfer. From tomorrow's generation (particularly tommorow's kids that will rely on public infrastructure) to themselves.
And people wonder why younger generations are so surly and think the Baby Boomers are fucking scum. Here you go.
