The comparisons are interesting in that contradicts two assumptions:
1) The government is getting bigger. It appears that it is not. There are 1.1 million fewer government workers on the payroll in the latest period, this despite a considerable population increase.
2) Higher tax rates automatically mean less economic growth. The first period had a marginal income tax rate of 70% and the second half that rate yet with poorer result.
I haven't changed my stripes of "More Freedom, Less Government" but detest shouting matches, especially between moronic know nothings.
