From 1940s-1980, the wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax rates. Zero of them went broke from taxation. Zero of them left the USA. All remained exceedingly wealthy, manufacturing boomed, AND we had the strongest middle class growth in US History.

Let's do that again. #TaxTheRich

@QasimRashid

there were also basically zero other advanced countries that weren't still recovering from the war for much of that period, but yes, I support much higher taxes on the wealthy.

@wjmaggos There are definitely more than zero countries in Europe.

I don't love my own phrasing but wasn't all of Europe pretty fucked up but WW2?
