cut wasteful government. There are plenty of programs that do nothing except fund government unions who support candidates. Start there.
Any source of funding can be considered a tax, even if it is a fee based tax.

They could actually cut taxes which would increase the number employed and then actually increase tax revenue. They could allow for an environment in which businesses and grow. The more they make the more they invest and the more taxes that are collected. It really is this easy.
