Yes, Huck, that table is tax receipts as a percentage of GDP. In dollars, the government is hauling in more than ever.

You are incorrect. The last column on the right is % of GDP. The column labelled Total Receipts is just that: total receipts. Dollars. Go look again. They've gone down every year in dollars.

You aren't living up to your screen name. I should think someone who advocates verification would actually pay attention to data, and not just GOP spin.

All this dollars, gdp, employment, and wealth stuff sure is hard for a lot of people to follow.   I got the energy to remember which is which, but having to keep explaining it to people over and over is making my head hurt.
