Our taxes don't even cover the interest on the debt on anymore. The only reason they are necessary is to promote dependency via impoverishment.
Federal tax revenue is ~$3.5 trillion per year. Interest payments are ~$360 billion. Just over 10%. Interest rates are lower than GDP growth; It's stupid not to borrow.
