Whenever you hear the teabaggers prattle on about how great things used to be in America way back in the wonderful 1950s, about how can-do America had the best schools, the finest universities, the most efficient highways, the most productive workforce, the most brilliant scientists, etc... ad nauseum, there's one thing they invariably, conveniently, leave out:
We were able to pay for all that stuff because the federal income tax rate on the wealthiest Americans was more than 90%.
These days it's 35%, and a proposal to return it to 38.6% is a clear indication the President is a tyrannical socialist dictator bent on destroying America.
