...historically, altering the top marginal income tax rate has had no effect on tax revenue as a fraction of GDP.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Well come on man, where else is he going to get the money to bribe the low info voters so they vote DemocRat? There's purpose for those taxes!
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Yet we’re running a trillion dollar deficit.

Democrats have a symbiotic relationship with the parasite class.Together they will destroy the country with their unquenchable thirst for money.

Its DOA.

It is just like the ‘socialists’ in France ( read that communists) they think they can tax at 80 or 90% (or even 75%) and still have people stay in place and give them the money. The commies have always tried to sell people on the idea that ‘the rich’ should pay more....when that doesn’t happen they just outright confiscate everything by force

The biggest problem is that there really aren’t enough “rich” to pay for their excess. But as long as one person has a dollar more than another they somehow are able to keep milking the attack the rich meme.

Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
Under Obamas proposal, taxes would rise from 17.6 percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2014 to 19.2 percent in 2024. During the ten years from 2015 to 2024, federal taxation would average 18.7 percent GDP.
