The U.S. government. “Federal tax receipts for the first 11 months of fiscal year 2016 totaled $2.909 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The CBO estimates that the government took in $26 billion – or about 1% – more than they did during the same period last year, marking a record high.”But even with all of this money, the USG still ran a deficit. We don’t need a balanced budget amendment. We need a cut the budget amendment. We need to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment. We need to starve the beast, not make the tax code simpler, flater, or fairer.
