You are like the energizer bunny of stupid.Yes, revenue is high in terms of RAW dollars. However, what your dumbass doesn't understand is those figures don't take into account inflation, growing economy, and population. You aren't measuring it properly. Going back to the 50s, revenues as a percentage of GDP were higher than today's level during 55 or 63 years, or 87% of the time. Only for 8 years within that time was it lower than today's.
You are dumb.
So you made a claim about revenue. That was shown to be false. Now you want to revise the claim to include:
Inflation (running under 2% a year)
Growing economy (economy expanding under 2% a year)
Population (how that affects revenue is beyond me).
You want to make some kind of revenue/GDP comparison.
OK. Here;s the chart. It also shows revenue as a percentage of GDP is higher now.

What's next? Heritage is wrong? Provide your own chart. OR STFU and admit you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
You are so stupid. Of course heritage is bullshit. You might as well pulled that crap from Fox News. That graph, and you and the rest of the cons are completley oversimplifying the issue. Why am I not surprised you just ignored the inflation issue? The today's economy is bigger than ever and with the dollar being worth less than ever, of course revenue in terms of raw dollars is going to be higher than ever.
The only accurate way to measure revenue is through percentage of GDP. For 2013, federal revenue only accounts for 16.7% of the GDP. 2000 is when it was at its highest of 20.6. Facts like these must be put into historical context.
Proof?
