If we consider all taxes collected as a fraction of the GDP as a pie, from 1950 to the present, the taxes collected are about 17% of the pie. Whatever happened to tax rates, the top marginal rate, the capital gains rate, the estate tax rate, in that same period, whether they were raised or lowered, the government collected the same 17% of the pie.
When those tax rates were raised, the following year, the government actually collected less revenue. The pie slice remained about 17%, but less revenue was collected than the prior year. The only taxes that have historically generated more tax revenue when they were raised were taxes on Social Security and Medicare.
