Ain't it funny to consider that a little over 100 years ago most folks kept 100% of what they earned (no income tax), and the government was still able to field a considerable army, pay all it's admin costs, do infrastructure improvements, fund schools, etc, using excise tax, property tax, and a modest 1 or 2% sales tax in a few states.
