And that’s on top of the arguments that go “We need less revenue, not more, because otherwise government will just spend it all!” as a way of arguing against tax increases to pay down the debt.

Why don’t we turn this around on them: Okay, so, you want government to have less revenue because otherwise they’ll spend it all. Alright, fine, we’re arbitrarily cutting your paycheck in half, because otherwise you’ll spend it all. There, how’s that?
