9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoif you get a tax cut(rich or poor), do you think it is "getting" something from the government?

33 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWould a 100% tax bracket work to spread the wealth?
To all those with socialist leanings, how about taxing 100% of income over some arbitrary limit (i.e. 100k)? It would never happen but as we get more and more comfortable with the idea of taking from some and giving to others we could approach something close. Don't think that it can't happen because all government abuse and oppression starts somewhere. There was a time not too long ago that a 90% bracket existed.
