...reduced the marginal #tax rate from 70% to just 50%. In 1988, #RonaldReagan and the #GOP slashed it even more to just 28%.👈
The only time in post-WWI #US history that the #MaginalIncomeTaxRate was even lower for a few years, had been in 1925 (25%), which proved to be unsustainable.
After that, it went back up to 39% and stands now at 37%..."

I'm at a seaside village in #Summer, perhaps Ireland. Glorious weather. And again, there is #BarackObama with a few friends. A #music track breaks out (boisterous Indie Folk, like Lumineers?) and Barack and Friends break into #dance in the country lane, as I pass by slowly in some sort of panel truck (or maybe a flat-bed) dangling out and wriggling my legs and waving my arms with the music.

me behaving badly towards another person
sitting in a living room with #BarackObama , where he's saying "it's a little weird out there - I'm glad I have this house and grounds with all kinds of security" about the Zombies that have appeared on America's streets. Except the Zombies seem rather harmless, as they ignore living people. They shuffle along instead in search of fresh fruits and vegetables to eat, rather than "brains!"

President Obama talked about the power of our shared values.
“And it’s why the exhibits here focus not just on policies but on the shared values that make democracy possible. A belief in the intrinsic dignity and worth of all people, and that no one is above the law or beneath its protection. A belief in checks and balances in our government, and an accountability that comes with an independent judiciary, and a robust free press. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our Constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100% of the time. And a belief that qualities of character, honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, a sense of duty and honor, those things matter in our public dealings, just as they do in our private lives.”

« Les #Obama ont longtemps prétendu incarner une noblesse morale face à la vulgarité trumpiste. Mais il existe plusieurs formes de vulgarité. Trump est vulgaire comme un milliardaire de casino. Les Obama sont vulgaires comme des célébrités persuadées que leur réussite personnelle constitue un projet politique. »

Former President Barack Obama formally opened his presidential center in Chicago on Thursday with a call to defend democracy. He and Michelle Obama spoke as three other former presidents and their first ladies joined the Obama family on stage in an extraordinary event featuring politicians, A-list celebrities, athletes and other internationally known figures. Obama voiced his support for character, honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion and sense of duty, praising both Democrats and Republicans for their values. President Donald Trump was conspicuous both in his physical absence and by not being mentioned by any of the speakers or performers. Stevie Wonder closed the show with a rousing rendition of “Higher Ground."
