A quick history lesson. From 1940-1980:
•Wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax
•0 of them went broke from taxation
•0 of them left USA
•All remained exceedingly wealthy
•Manufacturing boomed
•The middle class was 62% of US economy (It's now 40% post 'trickle down scamenomics)
•We had the strongest middle class growth in US History

Let's do that again. Stop protecting billionaires. Start taxing them.

@QasimRashid I cannot tell you how many conservatives, with marginal incomes even, have told me how crazy I am for wanting über wealthy to pay their fair share. Most common response is, “Well, how many jobs have YOU created?” As if that gives them the right to coast by.
