In a perfect world, we would have low taxation, low regulation, libertarian representatives who didn't pass many lawas. We would also provide a very low level of services at low cost to the taxpayer, avoiding expansionist tendencies unless the spoils of war could be returned to the general populace. Neither party fits the bill, but the class warfare of the Dems is the most offensive. And my political coming of age was during the sixties, when Dems were the tax and spend ones, they controlled Congress by large margins and the White House. Top marginal tax rates were in the seventies, but we did have a few good loopholes.

Simple questions: Which party has most raised the national debt?

How much in taxes are required to service that debt (forget paying it down)?

If current spending rates continue, is there anything that can be done to avoid raising taxes?

Answers:

1. Republicans
2. 16% of taxes currently
3. No

You may blame Democrats for targeting the rich in their tax schemes, but the reason we are getting stuck with the taxes in the first place is largely because of Republican spending. Remove that spending and how Democrats want to allocate taxes becomes much more academic.
