but isn't tax revenue as a percentage of GDP way down from ten years ago? yes, in the USA it is way down since and thanks to Reagan and no link is required to prove that. France and Germany have a long way to go to get to that point. They have hardly started the process of doing that so far...

Interestingly tax revenue as a percentage of GDP is much higher now than in the depression when GDP was lowered and when the government was instituting all sorts of new programs, and lower than 1941, 1942, and 1943 when we were fighting WWII and had an army many times bigger than our current army with a population that was less than half of our current population. (During the peak war years of 1944 and 1945 revenue as a % of GDP did go a bit higher than it is now). Tim
