- Why do people inside the beltway still believe a tax increase will lower
- the deficit? The following numbers would dispute this:
-
- Year Federal Taxes per person
-
- 1983 $2,490
-
- 1993 $4,438 ( projected )
-
-
- ( from a Tax Foundation report , Sept 1992 )
-
-
- Of course, while the tax burden nearly doubled, the deficit spireled
- through the roof. [ no need to flame Reagan/Bush, they tried to decrease
- spending, but Congress wouldn't do it ]
