Also, the problem isn't tax cuts recently....

it's tax evasion and just well tax loss.

With things as they are, tax revenue is expected to be 20.8% of GDP in 2021.

When things go bad...

A) more individuals evade paying taxes...

B) The rich lose more money as a hard cap number.  Which is why the gini coefficent drops during bad economic times. 

The rich are taxed at a higher percentage, so actually there is incentive to have more rich people to pay the government more money.  (Which is an awful incentive to have.)
