Why is lowering taxes considered a conservative move?
Consider that if impact of lowering taxes is not to reduce the size of the govt but to increase the size of the deficit. The Bush43 tax cut did not lower the size of the govt it increased the deficit. Ergo it is not conservative or liberal but just stupid. Right?

The deficit you cite was increased through primarily spending, not through lowering taxes, I believe.
Very often, lowering taxes ultimately results in greater overall revenues due to greater economic growth. No doubt you have read adios' excellent posts on these matters so I won't elaborate further.
