Thanks for your opinion. The other opinion would be that high taxes are the result of success rather than the cause. Any reason why this doesn't make sense to you as well?

The idea that more spending translates into better results in the future makes sense, but so does my counterpoint that past success may have resulted in present higher taxes [[in MN in your example).

Again, thanks.
