Q.  Like what other types of taxes are there?

A.  Policy Taxes:  Negative real rates, for example, are massive taxes on the household and savings sectors and a massive subsidy for the banking and corporate sectors.  As are Tarrifs.  As are polices that incentivize stock buy backs at the expense of worker compensation.  All these taxes crush demand.  This is why cutting only income taxes will have very little effect on demand.
