Obviously, your and my view of what taxes are, what government is for, and who Robin Hood is are not going to be reconciled anytime soon.
However, on some factual points, you are almost certainly wrong. Tax receipts (inflation adjusted) according to the Heritage graph, have grown by almost nothing since their peak in 2000, and yet real GDP has grown by nearly 20%. How can that be consistent with the claim that tax revenue has outpaced GDP growth?

Afterthought: Which econ textbook is that? Someone on the internet is apparently plagiarizing them.
