      Some of the best times for the working class here in The U.S. happened when the tax rate was 90% on the highest earners.

      With that said, I’m pissed about our current situation and looking for more of a “wipe them from the board” solution. If they’re wise they’ll look at the 90% tax rate as the gift that it is.
