    > US taxes as a percent of GDP are at an all time high

I found this from the Federal Reserve: "Federal Receipts as Percent of Gross Domestic Product"

It looks pretty steady around 17%. It was as high as 20% in the late 1990s. However, this does not include state and local taxes. I could not find a source for it. What is your source of information?
