I agree with Rick. Deficit spending can trigger inflation, which has the effect of taxing those who save and whose savings decrease in value as a result. |

How can a gov't tax GDP? Wouldn't taxes as a % of income be the real measure of tax burden? YEAH!!! |

April 26 in 2006.
Bottom of this link-page shows Tax Freedom Day in The
OECD countries for 2002. Happy reading!

Ian Graham -
I like your mentioning of Tax Freedom Day. Does anyone else note the irony of the fact that tax freedom day in the US is right before we have to pay our federal taxes? |

To an economist, total taxes divided by national income, rather than GDP, seems like a better measure. National income excludes depreciation and therefore is a better indicator of the net output of the economy. Looking at US statistics, I see that for recent years, total taxes are about 37% of national income. The time series is relevant too. Until about 1933, this ratio bounced around between about 4% and 8%, excluding major wars. After 1933, it rose steadily until the early 1980s, then flattened out before rising again to a peak of 41% in the early 1990s; since then it has drifted down as the economy grew. |

Comparing bare taxation rates is not a very valid comparison. You should also compare the services provided by the government for these services and if the government is in a deficit or surplus position. |
