With a MODEST raise on the marginal tax rates.

My great uncle, Joe Louis, was once the richest black man in America.

Here he is with my Great grandmother at one of the several houses that he bought for our family.



Unfortunately, his wealth was lost.

Although he was much too generous with his money and he made several bad business deals, it was a witch hunt by the IRS, backed up with some of the highest marginal tax rates in this country's history, that did him in.

(Check out those rates during the 1940s-1950s when my Great Uncle Joe was getting harassed)

So wingers, teabaggers, fiscal conservatives, anti-socialists and generally greedy assholes, DON'T TELL ME that the rich shouldn't have to pay their fair share after all these years. I know that that "cut the tax", supply sider bullshit is nothing more than that...BULLSHIT.

The rich have been living far too high off the fat of the land for far too much and for far too long... And all of us have paid for it.
