Well, taxes were low during part of the Clinton adminstration because the Republican-controlled Congress of that era had fiscal discipline and because there was “gridlock” between the legislative and the executive branches. I’m starting to think (as much as I hate Clinton) that this is the perfect match. Now, unfortunately, we have Republicans who want to spend and spend. WTF??? Where are Gingrich and Kasich when we need them? I think we need the term limits that these guys promised us in 1994. We don’t need Democrats – just Republicans uncorrupted by Washington power.
Back to the topic – the government does need to live within its means. They can’t just take from people whenever they decide to spend some money. So, if there’s a war tax, we should all share the pain.
