Everyone complains about how high taxes are. Part of the problem is there is no direct connection between revenue and expense. When a legislator proposes a bill that will require the government to spend money, it doesn't specify where the money will come from. I've wondered, on occasion, about a law that would require legislators to say how the government would get what they wanted to spend.
But the more interesting question isn't what the tax rate should be: it's what the government should be doing with the money. Reducing takes by any significant amount would require reducing government spending. What would you advocate the government not do to reduce spending, and why?
