And I'm sorry, but your McDonalds metaphor makes absolutely no sense. Your assumptions are incorrect, since the added cost of hiring and developing product is absorbed by the private businesses we tax, and not by the government itself.

My point wasn't to illustrate that the government goes through the exact same cycles as a single buisness. My point was to illustrate that a GROSS INCOME CHART by its very nature is meant to be misleading.
