Politicians need to study the Laffer Curve.

They are quite aware of the Laffer Curve.

Taxes are not about revenue, except as a secondary side effect.

Taxes are about control and punishing success and anyone who dares to dream they could be half as good as any of their government 'betters'...

Most politicians would rather rule over hell than serve in heaven.

Really? I'll bet if you ask each one privately to explain the Laffer Curve, you'll get a "I'll have my staffers get back to you." most of the time. Most appear pretty ignorant on economics. AOC is an econ major and thinks printing money is a solution to the deficit. The hyperinflation in post WWI Germany shows how that works out. If I were BU, I'd ask for my diploma back.

Of course not, as ‘spending’ isn’t tied to any Constitutional constraint, especially in the last century.

Require each and EVERY Citizen to pay for the service(s) they utilize, if not personally write out every check vs. paycheck, and the 2nd Rev. War would be on their doorstep.

Unfort, the majority are sheeple (regardless of political ‘sides’)
