You can’t find Reaganomics in the tax statistics below. Maggie Thatcher stopped a rapid growth in British tax revenues which caused the UK to become the sick man of Europe.

The election of the Blair government in 1997 stopped the rapid growth in tax revenues as a share of British GDP under that double secret socialist John Major. As Sam Peltzman previously noticed, the growth the government stopped in Denmark and Sweden in the mid-1980s.
