(6,921 posts)if wealthy Republicans were really serious about people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, and getting rich by working hard, and getting paid on merit, and all that - um - stuff - if they were for real about that, they would ask - DEMAND - a 100% estate tax. They wouldn't want to deprive their own children of the rewards of making it on one's own.

(5,275 posts)From FDR till Reagan the top marginal tax rate was 63% to 92%, 91 or 92% every year Eisenhower, a Republican, was in office. People still got rich and it was a period of great middle class growth.
Reagan and Fox News convinced middle class people to be in favor of cutting taxes for multi billionaires and big business. I think some are so dumb they hear of a 85% top marginal tax rate and think it on all a persons or businesses income.
