I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:

The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.

The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.

AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

President Eisenhower taxed the shit out of the wealthy and built the interstate highway system.

Why is there an interstate highway in Hawaii?

Why is I-4 an interstate when it's only in Florida?
