If you want to say that, then you have to explain how other countries do it, none of whom are as rich as we are.

Who's They? Maybe someone does want us to believe that. If so good for them since its the truth.

- From WWII on we've had top personal income tax rates from 90+% down to 28%. None of those rates has ever brought in enough sustained revenue as a percentage of the economy to cover future entitlement costs. -

Is a simple and true statement. Obviously true to anyone who looks at the data. I have no concern at all about some "they" that "wants us to believe it" beyond hoping that "they" succeed on this since its not only true but a rather important true point.
