"If the government used to collect a dollar, but now it collects 2 dollars, did the government just increase revenue? "

Errr.... Ok so if it use to cost one dollar to make an item that retails for 2 dollars. But now cost 2 dollars to make that same item which sells for 3 dollars is that a revenue increase????

NO.

Accept in the case of the states education system it's more reminiscant of the service costing 10,000 dollars to provide yet the recipient is still only being charged $10!!!

Are you actually under the concept that the state is making or has ever made a huge boon off of the UC system?!

So they were deficit spending, which got us where we are now?

I'm not in disagreement with you at all that people should pay for the services they get.

Cut out ALL taxes used to subsidize state parks and charge a fee, but ya can't have it both ways.
