Here are the details from the <a href=\"http:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/1-48-trillion-government-collects-record-high-taxes-first-half-fy-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Beacon<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Inflation-adjusted federal tax revenues hit a record $1.48 trillion for the first half of fiscal year 2016, but the federal government still ran a $461 billion deficit during that time, according to the latest monthly Treasury Department statement. <\/b><b>Treasury receipts include tax revenue from individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, social insurance and retirement taxes, unemployment insurance taxes, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and other miscellaneous items. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>With all that money coming in, the United States will still be some $500 billion in the hole. Why? Because the fools and idiots on Capitol Hill don\u2019t comprehend fiscal responsibility. For them, it\u2019s all about buying votes to keep their fat behinds in their seats in Congress. To top things off, Cankles Clinton has announced that she plans on raising taxes another $1 trillion dollars.
