(11,804 posts)The truth is that at a certain point giving the wealthy more money doesn't work. I'm not sure we need to go back to a 70% top tax rate, but I do think we are much lower than we need to be. Increase Taxes on the wealthy and use the money to build infrastructure and things to make this nation better.
