Does the example exist?

I believe Fade (excuse me if I got that wrong) has written that there is no example where taxation has created a wealthier society.

Here's a truism on the Tax Party Philosophy --

You know, there’s not a single solitary example on the planet, not one, of a country that is successful because the economy has triumphed over the government and choked it off and driven the tax rates to zero, driven the regulations to nonexistent and abolished all government programs, except for defense, so people in my income group never have to pay a nickel to see a cow jump over the moon. There is no example of a successful country that looks like that.
