America's highest earners are pretty adept at not paying the taxes they owe. Scrutinizing them could yield a lot more revenue for the public.

    How much could they get if they seized 91% like we used to do back in the 50s?

      Tax rate doesn’t make a difference if the IRS doesn’t have the resources to look into their fuckery.

        91% would help with that.

          Not if it’s not appropriated back to the IRS

          It wouldn’t help with things like international tax havens, or shell corps, or creative accounting, the list goes on and on. It doesn’t really matter what a single country does, it’s a global issue that would require global cooperation to address.
