I appreciate you providing a source that clearly indicates that the highest rate was decreasing until 2008, which is quite some time ago.
That same source indicates that Real Tax Per Capita in the years mentioned (considered by me as Taxes we pay regardless of the rate) increased virtually every year.
1976 Real Taxes Per Capita $ 212
1987 $ 293
1988 $ 299
1989 $ 308
1996 $ 375
2006 $ 467
2008 $ 476
Taxes paid by individuals is not simply tied to a smoke and mirrors declining tax rate. The highest rate declined but Taxes Per Capita ( Actual Taxes Paid) increased has something to do with how we get to the figure the declining rate is applied to.
Fees are simply dollars collected and distributed to Federal and State agency's in lieu of Taxes, which are going up as well.
Sorry for the difference in how we view the stats,
back to what we all share Fishing.
