"From a corner, uh, table beneath a picture of Mona Lisa riding an ass on the Wyoming Steppes, I said: 'Don’t be fools,' to those idiots in Congress, uh, in patient but stern rebuttal in regards their tax plan, 'there are enough of us all ready. Anymore and we’ll sink the life raft.'  But of course they didn't believe me, and so I said this next part too: “Welcome aboard -- we’re out of life vests.”

​What the wealthiest in America paid in taxes:
​
The top marginal tax rate in 1980 was (approximately) seventy percent and in 2013 was (approximately) forty percent.
In 1955, a ninety-one percent tax rate was charged on income "over $3,425,766 when adjusted for inflation."  -  Tax Foundation, Tax Policy Center, Alan Reynolds, from an article (11/24/15) by Andrew Syrios in Mises Daily Articles/ Mises Institute,

Please see the Carbuncle Moon post of 11/29/17. 

​
The current Republican Tax Plan in Congress:
Sets "a top individual income tax rate of 37 percent, below 38.5 percent in the Senate bill and 39.6 percent in the House bill (which is also the rate under current law)."  - Vox/ Dylan Matthews/ 12-18-17


As America's wealth is situated in the hands of fewer and fewer banks, corporations, and people, 50 % would be fair for the top marginal tax rate...

"Yemen’s civil war, now in its third year, has brought a steady deterioration of humanitarian conditions, leaving more than 3 million displaced. Almost two-thirds of the population need some kind of humanitarian or protection support, while an estimated 3.3 million children and nursing mothers are acutely malnourished. This number includes nearly one-half million children under 5. A cholera outbreak has added another dimension to the human suffering."  - International Medical Corps

“Though, of course, there was that awful rumor that the bearded lady had lice, and all the schools, tanning parlors, and coffee shops within a fifty-mile radius were evacuated.  A pet store was, uh, burned down by rioting Knuckleheads because it had a sign advertising the sale of Bearded Collies.  The enflamed reactionaries thought that Bearded Collies were actually bearded women from Scotland, um, confusing bearded Colleens from Ireland with Bearded Collies from Scotland -- By-the-way, Scotland is an ancient country which is actually situated across the Irish Sea from Ireland and is connected to England by a land bridge that the Romans built called Adrian’s Walk.  Thankfully, no dogs, uh, were injured in the pet store fire however several of the reactionaries suffered burns in the Genitalia area, which is also not in Scotland.”
