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 My dad was a surgeon. He was taxed A LOT. Complained about it. Said that after June every year he was just working for the tax man. Oddly, he kept working anyway. But he still sent five kids to college and lived a comfortable life. Tax the rich like it was the 50s!
