Why stop at a 75% income tax rate? Why not go 80% or even 90%? In fact, why not just take it all? What a great plan France has. Who needs to abide by any sort of rule of law and arrest the handful of mafia bosses at Goldman Sachs and Chase who fraudulently created the 400 quadrillion-plus derivative junk, while getting the US and EU to sign on to their debt, when you can just gouge the shit out of your citizens? Say, didn't the kabuki theater, false flag fiscal cliff negotiations result in a tax increase for 77% of US households?
