re: #318 Aceofwhat?

Then why not tax everyone above, say, $250k at 100%?

from the 40s to the 60s, top income earners were taxed at an outrageous rate of 90%, yet somehow people were still motivated to start companies, invest, and otherwise be ambitious and “grow the economy”

yet again, QED, the theory of ‘taxes up, economy down - taxes down, economy up’ is shown to be false [x]

however, i would never suggest raising income taxes back up to the levels they were under eisenhower, much less accede to this straw man of 100% taxes for anybody
