Even then, they don't pay 35% when the rest of the competitive world is half that or less.
Tax reciepts are overflowing
and breaking records.
The problem is spending.
If we could take spending to W's first year levels (we were still spending like drunken...W's...even back then, on EVERYthing including leftists pet projects) we'd have a trillion dollar a year surplus even now.

Command and control socialist economies fail 100% of the time
and you and the collective aren't entitled to other people's money because we don't live in a democracy.

Not sure what overflowing means? Are they giving it back now? USA Profit Sharing Day!
Of course it is. We would have a SERIOUS problem if tax revenue was decreasing every year.
Exactly, and Trump's budget made it even worse! Great job at conserving...
Ahem... that was Clinton's budget. George's first year was appropirated under Clinton. "Clinton's final four budgets were balanced budgets with surpluses, beginning with the 1997 budget."

We agree there.
Well you better blast off to Mars because there isn't a place in the world where your fantasy exists. Sorry bub, you're going to pay taxes and the collective will benefit. It's how society works.
