A lot of the French aristocracy believed that in 1789 as well. Your attitude can be quite problematic when you play it out to its logical conclusion.
Also, you are looking at it extremely wrong. Funninspace hit the nail on its head with their response but I would add how much of the tax burden you provide is nowhere near as important as how much of your disposable income is going to the government. And going by your answer
here, I'm pretty certain you understand that.
And note that the French revolution set France back 30 years.
A repeat would come close to making us a third world nation.
Incidentally, the greatest period of economic growth and prosperity for most Americans was during the 50s and 60s. Take a wild guess what the tax brackets for the richest 5% was like during those times. I'll give you a hint; they were counter intuitive to your fantasy of piss down economics.
Take a wild guess as to the economic situation at that point:
1) We had a huge backlog of demand left over from WWII. All that war economy now showed up in the civilian market.
2) Every other industrial power in the world had been pretty heavily trashed and had to rebuild. No meaningful damage had been done to US industry. That means we were in the position of importing raw materials and exporting finished goods with little competition. We could export the bad jobs.
3) We also could export the bad jobs to the blacks and women. It was good times for white males, not for everyone.
4) The tax rates had loopholes you could drive an 18-wheeler through. They didn't mean much.
Putting the tax rates back to the levels they were then would do nothing about the real factors driving the boom times.
Not to mention that much of it was a matter of expectations--conditions were good by the standards of the times, but the standards have gone way, way up since then.
