By other estimates, the increased taxes would run the government for 11 hours. That ignores the fact that the money is taken out of the economy - at some point higher rates will of course reduce government revenue.
Yep my bad. It's even far worse than I thought.

The whole argument over raising taxes is nothing but a distraction to keep us from realizing just how much money that politicians are stealing from us. They get us to argue amongst ourselves while the reality is that the one entity in the U.S. that brings in the most money and spends it like wildfire isn't "big business" or any company. It's the U.S. government.
