The only "diminishing returns" that I see is that we are getting less and less value for more and more burdensome taxes the government is squeezing out of us.
Here's a clue, leaches! Stop SPENDING so friggin' much! Especially stop SPENDING money you DON'T HAVE! A "budget" is NOT listing everything you WANT to spend money on then trying to figure out ways to yank it out of people's pockets involuntarily. You figure out how much money you have to spend, THEN figure out what you can afford to spend based on that absolute limit. Every representative who votes, and has voted, for a budget that operates off of a deficit is engaging in gross malfeasance.
