20% of GDP, how about 5%! Even The Lord has only ever required 10%. (Consecration had to be willingly accepted).
20% of GDP is ridiculously high given historically we never really been able to get more then 19% of the GDP in actual tax revenue regardless of actual tax rates for any sustained peroid of time.
It needs to be something realistic, that being said ill take what ever I can get in this department so that the Federal Government doesn’t try to spend 50%.
Also the only exception can be a declared war.
But the thing I really want is an amendment that puts a maximum expiration date of say ~20 years on every act of congress.
Congress should at least be busy debating on whether or not to renew existing laws not pass new ones.
