Only a moron wouldn't recognize that the population is growing, as well as wages and prices. This requires a growth of the tax base greater than inflation. Taxes revenue has been growing faster then the combined rates of inflation and population growth. So has spending. Do you think taxes and spending should continue to exceed the combination of inflation and population growth? If so when do you think it would stop? How much is too much for the federal government to take? When, in your opinion, would high tax rates hurt the economy? When would they cripple it? At what level would taxes be so high that they would be unjust whether or not they crippled the economy? Tim
