This idea that they've always been a low tax nation is a misnomer. It was incredibly low before they started entering war after war, . So maybe war-mongering and writing blank cheques to the military industrial complex is the issue here? Perhaps the trillion dollars spent on the F-35 could have helped pay for their healthcare? Seems people who are anti-tax should also be anti-war, but that's a pretty rare case. |
That was 50 years ago and the economy is completely different than it was
