An interesting chart.... Ignore the projected... The historical total tax burden has averaged 18 percent of GDP since 1962. You had it ramp up high briefly while Clinton was raking in capital gains and down low briefly with the big deficit spending during Bush II. Then there's all the peas under the nut shell games. Lower federal, increase SS, drop the excise tax on phones, add a tax on airline tickets. ... they stuff money in one pocket and take it out of the other pocket[s].
