As for the effects of taxes themselves, we've been over this before, but
tax
money doesn't just disappear from the economy. As you say, they spend
it --
in other words, it goes right back into the economy. Beyond a certain
point
taxes put other burdens on the society, and they change the complexion of
an
economy. But note that several countries in Europe, where they pay taxes
that would make your eyes roll back in their sockets, are doing a lot
better
than we are right now.

_IF_ it's spent here, some of it goes back into the economy.

And if it's spent here, where does the rest go? Into a mattress?
