Growth of Government Outpaces Economic Growth in US
Alfred Parker, executive director of the Tax Foundation, says in a meeting with the European Taxpayers Association that over five years the growth rate of government in the United States has accelerated. He notes tax revenues rose nearly 70 percent while gross national product climbed about 46 percent, making taxes about 1.5 times the growth of the economy. He adds that the central government now collects about two thirds of all taxes, with roughly half of the remainder collected by the 50 states and the other half by about 71,000 local jurisdictions.
