If what you say is true, then there should be no taxes at all.
That would mean no service.
The debt cannot be paid off without raising taxes.
If what you say is true then , all moneys,earnings and savings,... should be taxed at 100% resulting in lots of service ?
There is a minimum and a maximum rate of taxes that the economy can possibly stand and the govbernment can use to operate, moveing beyond the max collapses the economy just as surely as moving below the minimum would collapse the government.
Persistant high unemployment , while a large government is maintained , strikes me as a sign that the Maximum is being approached.
