Andrew Mellon wanted to have tax rates reduced because lower taxes mean more money is available to expand businesses and add to employment. This was true in Mellon's time and is true today. The Government is an extremely inefficient spender of money. Compared to the private sector, government is less efficient because it does not need to worry about gains or losses.
