...another thing about your marginal tax rates is that they are on wages, salaries etc which is mostly made by working class or middle class professionals. The wealthy who don't have wages or salaries don't pay these rates. The higher tax rates are designed with one purpose and only one purpose in mind and that is to make each rung on the ladder harder to attain so you can be kept in your "place". The old wealth folks don't want any newbies showing up at their garden parties and country clubs.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
