The tax cut got the economy out of the slump we were in during the Obama years. Look at the numbers. You know it's true. It's hilarious that your side literally wants to run on wrecking the economy again to put us in either stagnant Obama growth or out right recession. Guess those unemployment numbers are too low for the left right now. Have to get them higher so they vote for you clowns to give them free gibs stolen from other people's pay checks. "Progressives" feed on suffering like vampires do on blood. If the problems are fixed by they other side, their racket isn't working anymore, so may as well take a wrench to what's working.
I suggest you look at the numbers yourself: The economy has been doing about as well as it did through most of Obama's time in office and most of what Trump tries to take credit for are all lagging indicators. You might also want to look into the economic actions that were not done because of extreme right Republicans throwing what amounted to a temper tantrum.
You might also want to look into the reason for the old saw about US governments: "Republicans bring recession and Democrats bring war."

BS. The economy was basically stagnant through out the Obama years. The recovery was very limp. It only took off really after the Trump tax cuts and the slashing of regulations. You can look at any indicator and it will say this. The economy is GOOD right now, very good. Crediting the economy to Obama all these years later is a cheap play and you know it's CHEAP. Yes, please run on knee-capping the economy by overtaxing business to fund your worthless government programs and "free" stuff." I'm sure people in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio will love to hear about how how you want to raise taxes on their employers so they all get fired. Manufacturing is finally coming back to the US, and middle class wages are rising again and unemployment is at record lows for every minority group, and you want to throw that away due to your hatred of the president. The left has turned into a bunch hyperbolic demagogues who only care about winning no matter the cost. You want to cheat through either impeachment based on debunked Hillary Clinton opposition research or by throwing the electoral college in the trash can. Instead of wondering why Trump won you want to disenfranchise his voters and then ruin all progress he has made in the economy even if it will ruin the country in the progress. Good luck with running on raising taxes and tying to elect Uncle Joe who said to a crowd of 12 people in the rust belt that China, who took their jobs, is not a threat to them. Good luck with that.
Repeating your falsehoods won't make them any more true. To get growth through the Obama administration significantly lower than the past couple of years you have to include the latter part of Bush the Younger's second recession. And yes, large scale economic trends are lagging indicators no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise, (it simply takes time both to enact changes and for those changes to have an impact).
And again: The main limitation over the first half of the past decade was GOP stonewalling on even things like maintaining public infrastructure.
You might also want to look at the real research regarding taxes and the economy: Cutting taxes has very little positive impact, especially cuts that favour the wealthy, (at the top end a $1 tax cut can mean only $0.30 in GDP growth¹, contract with infrastructure spending with direct impacts on the order of $1.50 GDP/$1 spent). Not that I expect you to, given your public demonstration of woeful ignorance².
Another thing you might want to do is to take that time you think things were great for the US economy³ and look at what taxes were back then. It might shock you to learn that today's arguments are pretty much about about "not quite the lowest in living memory" and "the lowest in living memory."
1: Shockingly, the richer you are the less you tend to spend as a fraction of your income.
2: Seriously, increasing taxes on the rich is the exact opposite of a regressive tax policy.
3: A warning about looking prewar: In the latter 19th/early 20th century the US spent most of the time in recession, (the US was not particularly bad off⁴, it was a general problem). Although that was mostly due to the use of deflationary currencies.
4: In fact, the US did better through some of the worst times. Most nations had a single two decade long depression starting in the 1870s, rather than two just under a decade each.
