What about it? Are taxes not trending up as of late? Just because we've whittled things down since the 40's doesn't mean that I have any desire to go back there.

Well, you posted some charts that showed taxes going down, to prove that taxes were always going up, I just wondered if you understood how to read a chart.
The point I was trying to make was that it has been said in this forum, that taxes are always going up, by many of the people who say military spending is always being cut.
And neither is true, and the charts showing that have been posted here, and yet they have been presented as proof of the opposite of what they show.
