Every life matters
Well, here's the thing...
Back in 2012 when Obama said he would let the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy expire;
Every single Conservative predicted the sky would fall.
Every single Conservative predicted the deficit would increase.
Every single Conservative predicted a market collapse and job loss.
Every single Conservative was wrong.
When Obama let the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy expire at the end of 2012, the deficit was reduced by $400 BILLION.
And that was the marginal rate going from 35% to 39.6%.
So it stands to reason that we would see even more revenue if we raised the rate from 39.6% to 70%.

I'm always amused by the RWers who wax so fondly of the 1950s -- allegedly a wonderful time in America that we should strive to return to. Yet in the 1950s tax rates on the wealthy were far higher than they are now. We used them to build an interstate highway system, other infrastructure, for education, for scientific R&D, etc. You know whenever you hear a RWer bleating about taxing the wealthy that they've bought into the lie that they too might someday be one of those elite.

Are you amused by the left wingers who strive to return to the high marginal tax rates of the ‘50’s and an industrial workforce that was heavily unionized? Talk about turning back the hands of time. And actually in the ‘50’s the money was used for white schools. Is that what we should go back to?
