To answer these questions: If high taxes kill businesses, explain to me like I’m 4, how the economy was roaring in the 50s and 60s with top marginal rates in the 80-90%? Why wasn’t the economy in the tank? Why did the middle class only collapse after Raygun’s piss-down-on-ya economics and its associated tax cuts?

What? Can’t explain it? The sit down and STFU. Morons.
