You hear that number trillion dollars so often that you become numb to it, but the annual tax revenue for u.s. was somewhere around 2.8 trillion.
Just imagine that. 90 million working Americans, from poor to filthy rich, working entire year, some paying quarter or third of their earnings, some companies paying billions in tax. And still amount amount to less than $3 trillion.
