There is ample evidence that public R&D and infrastructure investments can drive massive economic growth over extremely long periods.

  that's not what is being discussed. there's no guarantee taxes go to those things indefinitely. so again, which high tax countries have high growth in reality? (the counter claim is high taxes -> high consumer spending). france for example has high taxes compared to USA. is it growing more or less than USA?

    Yes everyone can see you set up the strawman that “high taxes cause economic growth.” No one claimed this, and so no one will respond directly to your “rebuttal.” The US has significantly higher taxes than Vanuatu, and higher growth.

      if you think Vanuatu is a good comparison then that's on you lol - also we never claimed that high taxes resulted in high tax rates. it was just a question to begin with lol. outstanding. in any case if you like your government feel free to give them more money voluntarily. leave ours alone please.
