He proposed a large tax cut, and came up against a Congress with a significant contingent that was vehemently anti-tax-cut. They compromised. He got less than he wanted. It was an open process - you could read the proposals as they were delivered.
This was a lie?
I think ya'all have severely devalued the concept of "lie" this cycle.
As for the rest - I thought we were discussing income tax rates. When did we move on to capital gains? Does that mean you've abandoned the income tax rate argument?
