    I wouldn’t mind the wages of the 1950s (adjusted for inflation)

    Adjusted for inflation, much lower than today

    I wouldn’t mind taxing the rich at 90%

    There were loopholes that allowed most people to pay much less, so that’s why they closed those loopholes later

      Evidence please.

      Remind me how much rich people pay in taxes now.
