US taxes at lowest level since 1950

as calculated by percentage of personal income (via @whitehouse) - which to me is jsut more evidence that our taxes are way too low - we're starving our government and killing off vital services while throwing ourselves into absurd levels of debt (and destroying the surplus Clinton had carefully built up) - fuck the 'tea party's NIMBY-ist bigoted lies and attempts to fuck over those Americans who we have fucked over for generations and have the gall to blame for what we did to them
