In the context of this discussion, I am not worried about Greece. I am just saying that for the US taxpayer, 20% of GDP is the maximum we are willing to pay to the government, regardless of the tax rates. So, until the government reigns in its spending to those levels, we will never fix the problem.
20% is Hauser’s Law. It is the contract commerce has with government. When it is proposed to increase the overall rates on the ‘Productive’, commerce responds in kind. Always has, always will.
Go Galt!
