The 90% rate should kick in for any income above $174,000

Why should socialists/communists get to define ‘fair share’?

Same as ‘common sense’ and ‘reasonable’.

[metmom]

A fair share would be everyone paying the same rate.

The flat tax.

Cortez and Castro explain why the majority of Hispanic countries are ****holes that their populations have to become refugees and seek asylum in the U.S. to get away from.

Julian Castro.

That apple didn't fall very far from Fidel's tree.

[SaveFerris]

Why not tax them at 990%? That would be even better!!!

O.K., now time to dance!!!

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you nineteen for me

[Rashputin]

Ten million today is the same amount of real money that one million was fifty years ago or so. Start taxing that ten millionth dollar and it'll soon be the same as the one hundred thousandth is today.

I don’t think that Pumpkin Spice knows shes going to get arkancided if she keeps this up toward 2020. For her safety she should go back to dancing.

Castro also floated “that we get more serious about making sure the corporations pay their fair share,” so the country can fund policy programs like “Medicare-for-All,” as well as universal pre-kindergarten and higher education.

-—Translation:
Castro also floated “that we get more serious about making sure the corporations which we control pay their fair share”, so the country can fund policy programs like “Poverty-for-All”, as well as universal pre-kindergarten indoctrination and higher SJW education including re-education camps for adults who are not sent to labor camps.”

A journalist might ask either one of these two is they plan to pay their taxes according to the pre Trump tax cut code or will they be paying at the new lower rates?

This article reminds me of the story of a rich entrepreneur in the 50s, back when the tax rates actually WERE 90 percent. It was told to me by a close relative. The entrepreneur had become wealthy making automobile repair equipment. One day he decided he was going to start up a new airline. At first others thought he might be expanding his empire into what was at the time a fledging new industry. However, the competition was great, and his airline never made any profits. When asked what made him decide to enter such a competitive industry, his reply, “I had to give away all my income to the government, anyway. At least with an airline, I could interview and hire stewardesses.”
