I can attribute these numbers to many things that are scarier than higher
taxes:
    - Larger corporations giving less people more control
    - More average Americans "convinced" that all they can do is eke by and
      don't bother shooting for the real money
    - Advertisers making a good living off the previous point
    - Makers of TV/Movie drivel doing the same
    - The sudden appearance of a VCR in every home, making it affordable to
      spend "quality time" at home instead of lugging yourself off your
      easy chair out to a theatre

Any care to expand this list?
