isn't it fairly obvious that the top marginal tax rates have to go UP...?

[dysfunctional press]

appreciably.

ronbo raygun slashed the rates, and said that it would increase prosperity so much for everyone, that revenues would be more than enough to keep the country running.

but the revenues never materialized, and we've been living on borrowed money and accounting tricks ever since.

and now our trick bag is pretty much empty, and we've dug ourselves a hole that we can't borrow our way out of.

the 'wealth gap' has become a chasm, and fewer and fewer people who want to cross it are able to.

the money and the wealth IS there...or rather here- in our own country.

with cities and states going broke- having to cut services and sell resources- isn't it time that we re-tap some of that wealth by going back to tax rates that worked...?
