The first X% GDP of tax dollars collected yield tremendous gains. They pay for the court system, the police, defense, all the legitimate and essential things that government and only government can provide. At Y percent the return reaches a peak and then heads back down. A Z percent it actually turns negative. Where X, Y, and Z occur can be argued forever. The fact that these inflection points occur is indisputable. I believe we are well past Y and headed for Z. That pretty well explains where I am coming from.
