Agreed. From ~1930 to the mid 60s, we were taxing almost everything over a certain amount (90+ %). In addition, corporate tax rates were significantly higher.

Besides the point really, we need a plutocrat tax/wealth tax, not income tax reform. It's one of the few direct methods to redistribute the wealth theyve extracted from the 99% and decrease inequality.

Tax wealth, not workers!
