Reply #8: That is what I advocate. I was talking to a conservative

Republican small business owner, and I told him that we had to increase the tax rates on high incomes. I told him I thought the 70% top rates of the 70's would be fair, but it would warm my heart to go back to the 90% from WWII. He didn't believe that the tax rates were ever that high. Well, I was wrong, it wasn't 90%, it was 94%.

This is one problem with these Republicans, they are made to believe that the top rates are too high now. And they don't know history and that our rates today are extremely low historically.
