You went through a whole bunch of gymnastics to repeat this conclusion. I suppose the economy under a carter second term would have been similar.

Asked again, did the same number of tax payers pay more per tax payer to increase the overall taxes collected. Or, were there more individuals who contributed to the total increase in tax revenue at the time of the huge ideological and policy change from one administration to the next.
