But you still haven't explained whether you think the graph is wrong. Is it? do you have a source that shows tax revenues diverging signficantly from 20% in response to fiscal and tax policy changes? Put it out there, roachboy. so far all you have said is "consider the source."

FWIW, that proposition isn't new. I've seen that graph before, or one very much like it. Tax collections vary in a narrow band of about 18 to 22%, IIRC. It gets trotted out a lot.
