Your ignorance on this issue is laughable. Here is ample proof revenue is way too low by historical standards .

We have a taxing problem, not just a spending problem - The Washington Post
Revenue way too low, eh? Consider this: If in 2013, government lived with the spending levels we had ALL THE WAY BACK in 2003, we wouldn't need a federal income tax...nothing...zero percent.
But hey, that would IMPOSSIBLE, right?! We all remember the horrors of 2003...the dead bodies in the street! The grandmas starving to death! The rampant chaos!!!
Not enough revenue my ass.
And yes, I can post all kinds of opinion pieces that demonstrate spending is the problem, not inadequate taxation.

You must be the biggest nanny state suck up in history to witness the MONUMENTAL increase in government spending and claim the problem to be inadequate revenue. My God man, have you ever looked to anything other than your overlords for a solution to your own damn problems? How about you try thinking for yourself, just once? Put on your big boy shoes and realize that all this deficit spending and taxes have a significant downside, a restricting element on jobs, growth and prosperity. For once, try not looking to central planners to make your life better. Do it yourself for christsake. Watching you whine for more and more confiscation and handouts is just pathetic.
You are such a moron.
You argue like a ten year old boy on a schoolyard play ground.
I made it clear from the beginning we had a spending problem, but to blame our debt on over spending alone is moronic.
Riiight...because living within our means is what caused $17+ trillion of debt.
You were saying something about 'moronic'???
Here is the graph that shows revenue is way too low in comparison to the past.

Yes, I understand one can post an opinion piece from a Progressive blogger that also never saw a tax he didn't like. Doesn't make it any less pathetic.
Bottom line, we collect more in taxes than we ever have. We collect more in inflation adjust dollars than we have in decades. We collect more in taxes compared to the GDP than we do on average...but we still keep posting near trillion dollar deficits.
And your solution? Not to live within our means...no, you want to tax us more.
Well, all I can say is...I pass. Stick your nanny state central planning bullshit. I've had enough of the redistribution that never ends and only causes more harm than good. Sorry, but neither you nor your benevolent overlords know what's best for everyone else.
