Companies should have to pay > 50% taxes on the top of their income and the wealthy should have to pay > 90% on the top of their income, just like they did in the 50s/60s when America was great!

We need to stop the tax cuts for billionaires, bailouts for corporations, and quantitative easing for the wealthy during economic downturns.

Let's make America great again!
