Top rate used to be 28% prior to 1990 or so. People still built wealth. Good luck to him getting Congress to approve it, though. Should be a gridlocked two years considering the bitterness on both sides.
The funnier part is the $500 tax credit for to encourage women to work. Does anyone really think that $500 per year is going to make the difference between staying home and working for anyone, considering that not working means forgoing at least $20k per year? And what’s wrong with one-working-parent families anyway?
