https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsreports/rpt/mthTreasStmt/mts0316.pdfI'll summarize: directly from the Treasury Dept, inflation-adjusted federal tax revenues were $1.48 trillion for the first half of fiscal year 2016 (all-time high), but the feds still ran a $461 billion deficit.
Federal taxes are too high. I'm the "friend of the friendless". I think those making a million should get to keep more of what they earn. Making them pay 70%, 80%, 90% - it's about as humorless as McGovern wanting unilateral disarmament in 1972.
