Is there anything tax cuts CAN'T fix?

I was under the impression that it has been argued that all that is needed is more tax cuts, and everything will turn around.  You have the liberal argument that you raise taxes, get money to do this service and that, or build this, and it will have a positive impact.  Well, the argument now is that government is too large, so shrink it, and everything will go away.  Well, the key to this is cutting taxes.  So, is there anything government can't fix? If you cut taxes... 

will this end up eliminating drug addiction?

will this end the threat of terror by political extremists?

will this raise literacy rates?

will this eliminate budget deficits and trade deficits with China?

will it reduce infant mortality rates?

will it end problems of teen pregnancy, and also the issues with abortion?

will it cause world peace?

will it cause divorce rates to drop, and increase the numbers of two parent households to raise kids in?

will it cause people to find Jesus?

will it eliminate the obesity epidemic in America?

will it result in a properly trained tax force?

will it cause multinational corporations to hire Americans, as opposed to people from India, China, and Eastern Europe?

will it cause an end of illegal immigration?

 

They can't cut taxes, they are already spending 1500 billions more than they make, they need to cut SPENDING.

Also the questions you ask are the wrong ones. The question should be: is it a role mandated to the federal government by the constitution? If not then it should either be done by individuals or by the states depending on whether it is prohibited to the states by the constitution (the government causing people to find jesus is a violation of the first amendment's freedom of religion*) or not (and a particular state's constitution allowing said state's government to do that item).

Also, quite a few of those problems (like obesity) are due to government distortions (the gov pushing a food plate that is good for the campaing contributing agriculture business but shit for nutrition) so having the government stop subsidizing and meddling with a lot of things would help.

* how would you feel about the government causing people to find allah or buddah... Well, muslim or buddhist are bound to feel the same way about the government causing people to find jesus.
