Industry and society functioned OK during those years. The haves still had plenty left over compared with the havenots. I'm not a socialist, but I believe there should be less inequity in compensation. Who can justify earning over $50 million a year and still pay the same marginal rate as the guy earning $l million?]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:34:51 -0400 And what's wrong with marginal income tax rates above 90% ?

There is talk of deflation. With the government printing up a trillion dollars of paper to finance the many programs which we hope will kick-start the economy, doesn't this mean INFLATION?]]> Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:46:24 -0500

We no longer guillotine Royalty. But can we find a way to reduce their wealth? First a one-time progressive tax on total assets. Then more progressivity in the annual income tax. Remember the 1950's. The top bracket was 90% and this country's economy thrived. There was still plenty of motivation to work harder for the corner office, to be the leader. Even dogs have an alpha male.]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:35:03 -0400
