    "Surpluses are predominately an outcome of taxes."

    What?

    A surplus is when the government spends less than it takes in tax.

    A deficit is when the government spends more than it takes in taxes.

    Surpluses are predominately, - actually, always, - an outcome of efficient financial management.

    Taxes by themselves have no 'outcome'. That's a meaningless statement.
