they’ve got you arguing the wrong thing... typical for the left
the real problem isn’t the amount being brought in... it’s the amount being sent out.
CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING NOW!
it must not exceed 90% of the previous years tax revenues.
Just abide by the constitution and there would be no need for high taxes or big spending. An estimated ninety percent of our current government is unconstitutional.
Very similar to something I suggested here a while back. Stop basing expenditures on what you hope to get in, base it on the recent track record. Given the length of the budget cycle, skip last year and use a trend encompassing 3 years before that.
Oh stupid me... our government doesn't even do budgets anymore. They just wing it. /slapping head for being foolish
