"The Unasked Question: Tax Cuts for the Rich Ignored in GOP Debate"

TL;DR Summary
The recent GOP debate failed to address the most important Republican policy question: how much do the candidates intend to cut taxes for large corporations and the wealthy? Despite discussing various policy issues, the moderators neglected to ask about tax cuts or abortion bans, which are key priorities for the Republican Party. Tax cuts for the rich and corporations have been a consistent focus of Republican presidencies, and the Trump administration's tax cut bill reduced corporate taxes from 35 to 21 percent. While tax cuts were briefly mentioned during the debate, the lack of detailed discussion on this topic rendered the exercise meaningless.
