You can when the facts are wrong. This theory from an opinion article (of all places) is dead wrong, the United States percentage of tax revenue to GDP has not been 19.5% since 1950, in fact its been around 10% for the past few years. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/tax_tax_rev_of_gdp-taxation-tax-revenue-of-gdp |

Clearly your source is dead wrong.
