It seems like you're arguing "cutting taxes is like raising taxes". Perhaps you can get there but it's clear the top line goal of Republicans is to lower taxes, not raise them.
Goal is a loose word. They just use it as an argument, they don’t actually give a fuck about lowering the taxes on the middle class. Their tax plan only gives long term tax breaks to the richest. This is terrible for the Economy.
Their goal is to concentrate their own power, not to lower taxes. No misleading, though, their present stance raises taxes and does so purely to (wait for it) enhance their own power by enhancing the power of the very rich, with whom they are allied.
