Basic Economics.

Page 428: "There are other times, of course, where a higher tax rate leads to a correspondingly higher amount of tax revenues and a lower tax rate leads to a lower amount of tax revenues." Got to be intellectually honest and point out that the author states this, as I implied earlier that he would avoid doing so.

I'm now reading a long section on taxes that is actually fairly interesting, but stuff I already kinda knew before and also things I have nothing to say on. Stuff like: "who is really paying these taxes" and "is this an efficient allocation of resources".

Page 434: The author mentions government bonds, and debt vs. GDP. Another factor I have heard recently is to consider the interest rate of that debt. So, really, how big the debt is isn't nearly as important as how expensive the debt is. A large debt at a lower interest rate can be equally as expensive as a moderate debt at a high interest rate.
