The top marginal tax rate in the 1950s and 1960s was around 91%. And also happened to be quite a prosperous time economically, for good reason. Ultimately Capitalism is the issue, but taxing the rich is a good start.

But it was still a capitalist society back then. There was simply a thriving middle class because of the tax rates.

And the strength of collective bargaining. Republicans have made it a major policy goal to dismantle unions everywhere they can. It鈥檚 how executive pay can reach another galaxy while worker pay has not grown a dollar in 45 years when adjusted for inflation. So immoral.
