It's ALL an Illusion of Prosperity, dude. Don't you get it?
Fatboy,
illusio prosperitatis non grata
You get an exponential fail from govt recpts alone - no denominator required - though that does make it more dramatic.
But - what is the point of the division? Govt receipts come from taxes and 1)tax rates are down, and 2) employment is down so people have less taxable income.
There is no surprise here.
Am I missing something?

Should have linked the chart.

Jazzbumpa,
My point is actually concerning the exponential rise in government receipts vs. wages over the years and its ultimate failure.
It's behaving like just like a laffer curve would predict.
Put another way, there was no chance this chart would hit 100%.
