Total tax revenues as a percentage of GDP for the U.S. (in blue) in comparison to the 34 countries of the OECD (in green) and the EU 15 (in red).. Daniel J. Mitchell has argued that Hauser's Law has been observed due to the fact that the U.S. does not have a national sales tax and instead collects taxes in a federalist system, in contrast to many other Western nations.
The "arithmetic effect" assumes that tax revenue raised is the tax rate multiplied by the revenue available for taxation (or tax base). Thus revenue R is equal to t × B where t is the tax rate and B is the taxable base (R = t × B). At a 0% tax rate, the model states that no tax revenue is raised.
In other words, deficits would increase by nearly the same amount as the tax cut in the first five years with limited feedback revenue thereafter.

This was known as the "ratchet-down effect", and it occurred in FY2001–02 and FY2002–03. [3]
