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 So is this the original sin of wealth? In your opinion, rich people must be guilty, and they need money to pay for their sins, right? While you are criticizing the Communist Party, you are also walking on this road

@ada86738 @QasimRashid It says *we* are guilty as a society, that we allow such obscene wealth without requisite contributions (taxes) to society.

If *one* person has enough money to end *world* hunger, while also not even noticing the money lost...and don't. Is that not a crime against humanity?

What if there are *dozens* of such single people?

@pixelpusher220 @QasimRashid Why do you base some sins on assumptions?
Your thoughts are dangerous!
Maybe you know that decades ago in China, many poor people were commanded by the Communist Party to plunder wealth from the rich! And many rich people died tragically in the process.
This shouldn't happen in the modern world, but you're getting closer
