I believe they tech explosion floated the economy during the Clinton years. The bubble popped and the economy flopped.

>Taxes went up under Clinton, yet the rich still got richer. Yes. They went up by three percentage points. Steep. >Some of the biggest gaps between rich and poor are in states with the most "progressive" tax rates. State taxes are a couple of percent. They're just not that material. >Progressive tax rates are one of the worst ways to "spread the wealth." I don't care so much about "spreading the wealth" as I do about having a well-functioning country that helps its populace. >Most of the 20th century and all of the current century proves it, yet liberals either want to ignore history or change it. B.S.. I can to some extent go along with your prior argument that progressive tax rates don't necessarily fix inequality, but there really is no evidence of it going the other way. -Z
