If you think any tax policy that has an effective tax bracket anywhere near 80% is sustainable in any manner what so ever - you are a point blank ID10T period
Uh, it's been that high before. For what, like 50 years until zombie Reagan?
right... keep going... and then what happened?
The greatest transfer of wealth in American history followed by the destruction of the middle class?

The point is - it wasn't sustainable... Those paying in that/those brackets fought against it and eventually found a way to take control of the system.

The point is that quibbling between 35% and 38% because rich people will stop working so hard is stupid.
and on that I agree 100%...
First, they don't work that hard.
Secondly bumping them up a few % points with the way our society is run and is structured is only sensible.

The left is always in favor of some kind of slavery to the state, but that is not the weird part. The weird part is that they never make the connection that they are in fact despotic oppressors when ever they are given the chance.

Yes, the rich were certainly suffering badly before the tax code was revised....
SUFFERING!!! GOD! WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE RICH!!!
And now they don't pay their fair share of taxes and we have massive debt, class warfare and the loss of the middle class.
Thumbs up.

You thoughts, emotions and or concerns towards their well being is meaningless. As on point as your commentary might be - they didn't agree. Not only did they not agree, they did something about it.
ie - It wasn't a sustainable tax bracket.

but we're all better off because 5% of people have things orders of magnitude easier while the rest have it harder. THIS IS QUITE A VICTORY FOR SOCIETY

this isn't survivor island, dogg. this is a society. in a society, the well off pitch in extra for the poor. if rich people don't like it, they're more than free to move to some 3rd world country, build a plantation, and post up armed guards to protect their lewts.
