Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had no national debt, we had the largest middle class in the world, and mom was able to stay home to raise the kids.

That does nothing to prove causation. Not to mention that laundry listing taxes says nothing about the amount at which they are set. Also implicit in your arguement is that we are too far right on the laffer curve, and that if taxes were lowered, we would have better economic progress. Well, that my friend, is called reaganomics...and we tried it once. We're trying it again. I have no expectation that it will work any better than the miserable failure we had under Reagan.
