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 they are taxed. They simply evade, avoid and don't pay. The US government, as they were against tobacco, are outresourced trying to collect. We are talking about a trillion dollars a year. Billionaires would not exist. Corporations like Zoom and Nike are as complicit. They are taxed. There is no consequence to it though. That's what has to change. Oh, and they have to stop taking advantage of givernment subsidies financed by taxpayers. That would help too. Matthew Desmond helps explain all that.
