>> That chart is a total lie and fabrication, Dave:

Bruce Bartlett is an idiot who doesn't know shit about the subject.

That chart is actual income tax revenue. Data without "adjustments" intended to deliver a particular result.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bartlet failed to provide a working link for how he arrived at his version of the truth.

If one adjusts to 2003 dollars, you get the following US tax revenue stream:

2003 - 942
2004 - 974
2005 - 1,177
2006 - 1,266
2007 - 1,375

Pretty hard to argue with these facts. I don't where Bartlett pulled that nonsense from. But he's a liberal nutjob and the truth just really isn't a factor with him.
