The US will be as highly taxed as Australia soon. Hold on to your hats. Can't decide if this is a good thing or not.

As long as we keep electing people into government whose main purpose in life is to increase their personal wellbeing, and the ability to spend tax money to increase their popularity with the half of the population that doesn't pay significant taxes, we will have the continued growth of government.Government NEVER voluntarily cuts its own expenditures.

Here in Michigan they over-tax businesses until they go under, they over-tax all of the working people until they move to another state, then they compensate for the loss of state income by raising property taxes until you default. Strange way of doing business- run off and destroy all of your income. The government here isn't getting rich, they just won't cut some of their programs like the welfare for life program (just one example).
