We need to go back to 1950's tax tables too. Back when people like Musk would be taxed at 93%. Gives the government more income and reduces the power of the billionaires.
Monopolies are driving the most extreme wealth imbalance in over a century. We must revive antitrust law and stop the monopolization of America. No...
@TheOldGuy People like Musk would have been taxed at like 55%, in the 1950s, not 93% as far as I'm aware. Not that much higher than the current top bracket.
@obi I googled it. I was wrong. 91% was the highest bracket.
@TheOldGuy We have problems when the Oligarchs have too much money and use it to destroy democracy as their hobby
