Holy shit, you're still here?We have extremely low taxes for a developed country. And not sure what the basis for scaling one nation's debt to global GDP is, but it's less than a third. Better scaling would be debt interest to (U.S.) GDP, and that's about 1.65% (compared to almost 3% in the late '80s and over 3% in the early '90s), which is not a concerning level. Also completely irrelevant to the issue of whether taxing people who receive millions of unearned dollars is wrong or will have any particular negative impact. Also funny how with all the populist bleating of the idiot GOP, the only significant legislation passed last time they controlled the gov't was a tax cut for rich people and corporations, and they're currently crying about people who inherit millions of dollars possibly having to pay taxes on some of it. God forbid anyone actually work for a living.
When are you claiming is "the last time the GOP controlled the government"? How many positions in the federal government are elected positions, and when have the majority of federal employees ever in history been republicans?
