Boy I disagree with this article. It doesn't make a concerted argument for lower taxes and instead just attacks Gates for not giving more volunteraliy to the government which isn't even really an argument.
Then it totally ignores that there might be reason to prefer some types of taxes even if keeping government expenditure the same.
For example sales taxes are inheriantly regressive because the fixed percentages that take out of consumption result in much larger impacts on the poor. Estate taxes are also good because they help prevent a permanent upper class from forming.
