Look, I’m fine with the top marginal rate returning to 39.6%, but I’d really like everyone to drop this “fair share” meme that is so played out. It’s a populist talking point and nothing else.

What is fair is completely subjective and differs with every single person you ask.

Just come out and say, we need revenue, the highest median incomes have increased while others have decreased, and we need to go back to the 90’s tax rates.

Maybe even throw in that 39.6% was the top marginal rate in the 90’s when a Republican Congress submitted and passed budgets that were balanced.
