1. A small group of rich people got a hold of that idiot raygun and launced an assault

on the rest of us.

in the process they brainwashed a bunch of people who now believe rich people should have all the money because they know what to do with it

3. Gone downhill ever since

2. Looks Like the Corporate Rate Maxed Out at 52.8%

A corporate tax rate of 90% would be foolish.

4. It might be necessary, short term,

on offshore profits not repatriated by a certain date. Either pay the low rates now, in other words, or pay a confiscatory rate later.

Personal rates needed to be that high to discourage the growth of a plutocracy. Lack of indexing to inflation was the problem.

5. You Commie!

You think we should raise taxes on the middle class? Those billionaires who only make one or two billion? Not just the extremely wealthy?

[Warpy]

6. Heh, you got it.

Comrade.
