I'll show you mine:
lets look at year 1980 and 2010 (just for easy comparison 30 years apart)
1980 1198B in tax revenues, population in 1980: 227M = 5.28k/person
2010 1928B in tax revenues, population in 2010: 309M = 6.24k/person
so, instead of 5.28k/person we are paying 6.24k/person = 18% increase...
so after taking population growth and inflation into account, we are paying 18% more in taxes than we did in 1980
