The rich should be taxed much more. Did you know they had an around 90% tax rate on the highest income earners in the nation, this was in the 60's I think.

Reach these articles around the rich. Minimilist is right, the top 1% are earning way more now then ever.

Why do you think in the 50's,60's one parent could work get a new car every few years, own their own home all on one income, did they even have credit cards then?
With 2 incomes in a family nowadays, it is hard to even get by.
How and why did this all change?
