I guess I'm just getting old. But it sure seems strange to me. I'm of the "old school" opinion of FUCK THE GOVT. and their wasteful bullshit. But that's just my opinion.

Robbie, i think you and i are in about the same demographic. and i'm a student of economic history. that said, go look up tax rates during America's true heyday in the 50s and 60s.
the myth that high tax rates on the rich impede economic growth is just that. a myth.
