Re: “Not as a percentage of GDP, which is probably the best way to look at it over time. We're just a little over 16% compared to 19.75% in 2000.”

You cherry picked the year.

2000 was when the largest number of Americans cashed out of the dot-com bubble.

Capital gain tax collections hit a record high and have never come close to that since.

Uh, the poster was talking about records so I picked the (recent) record year.

Do you agree that current revenue collections aren't close to the record on a normalized basis?
