Wages were high, job growth was good for decades. Businesses didn’t like the high taxes, so they used their influence to reduce their tax burden and shift it to workers. Then you had a recession and consumers started spending less, so businesses have responded by reducing their tax liability more at state and federal levels.

So you agree that taxes are the problem.
