And they don't match.

These are the federal tax receipts from the Tax Policy Center, a non-profit group and they do not match the numbers you provided. And lest you think the numbers are bogus, the Tax Policy Center is a group formed by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, not exactly right wing groups. Here is where I got my data.

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=200

As you can see from my numbers above tax revenues were lowest in 2003 which was the first year of the implementation of Bush's tax rates. By 2007 revenues were almost $800 billion higher than 2003. If you look at the table you will see that the highest tax receipts during Clinton's years was a little over $2 trillion which is half a billion less than the peak of the Bush years.

As you know OMB is part of the White House and should be taken with a grain of salt. But even so, I could not find the numbers you provided on the OMB website. So your exact source please because this does not match what I have read about tax revenues during the Bush years and certainly does not match my source.
