The US is much on par, give or take a few percent either way, with most other industrialized countries on taxation. How high can you bleed people?
The problem may be the way the tax revenue is spent. OK.. there is a war at the moment and that inevitably eats into the coffers, but the volumes of taxpayers money spent on defense is huge in comparison with other countries. There may be others areas as well, tho not familiar enough.
Only my
- it may seem fair to have more taxation passed back to benefit taxpayers directly and where that can trickle down and have an impact on the economy and hopefully raise currency values a little and enable some of the benefits that can give.
