Z, the following two statements don't jibe:

> The country has thrived the most with the high marginal tax rates at higher tax brackets. Not a coincidence.

> Maybe 75% is ridiculous; who knows? There are points where taxes are too high, and there are points where they're too low.

75% isn't an arbitrary figure. It's been done before in post-WWII history.

Since you think the country has thrived the most with high marginal tax rates, then you should be a strong advocate for the 75% rate.

You would also regard the Clinton era as a period of economic stagnation relative to the times when we had higher marginal tax rates. After all, Clinton limited the rate to 39.6%. OMG, what a right-wing nutjob!
