We will never get more than 18-20% of GDP in taxes
dogmatic belief not fact in evidence. Other countries -- countries with AAA credit ratings still -- get double that.
Double that? Really? Which countries?
How much would taxes have to go up on EVERYONE in America to get where you think we need to go?

Double that? Really? Which countries?
Example, Sweden. Hardly a "commie gulag hellhole".
How far will they have to go DOWN before we achieve Perfect Freedom?
Afghanistan has very low tax vs GDP. Also Angola, Algeria, Congo, Iran.
This notion that endlessly cutting taxes will sooner or later lead to Utopia..... doing the same thing over and over and expecting better results next time is one definition of insanity.

The Republican Party did not lose last Tuesday's election. It was obliterated, crushed, slaughtered, massacred, squashed, annihilated — and, let’s hope, extinguished.
For the party of Lincoln, it’s been a week of sifting through the carnage: What went wrong? How could a party that just a decade ago controlled all of government have been so completely nullified that an incumbent Democrat who was quite possibly the worst president in a century handily defeated the Republican nominee?
