All policies have good intentions. Whether it's that nobody is the villain in their own story or that the worst tyrannies are those done for the sake of their victims, having good intentions really doesn't count for much.

That is conflating two types of good intentions. One is that the writers have did intentions for society (what the parents means) or that they are good for a little group who write them. I don’t think anyone believes tax cuts for the richest is good for society anymore, and certainly not the people who wrote them last time around. They just wanted to pay less tax.
