You've mistaken me for my argument a bit there. The right's fiscal philosophy is based on the idea that people who earn money deserve to keep it. People who don't earn money shouldn't be re-appropriated money from those who do. In the long term that is achieved by having a smaller, less expensive government.
It is not the case that the government must raise taxes when they exhaust their resources, the other option--the desirable outcome from small government advocates--is that they slash services and oversight to an extent that is politically impossible under other circumstances.
Politics is not motivated purely by reason, but also by the different parties are motivated by philosophical ideals.
