To the people who say Ocasio-Cortez's proposed 70% top marginal tax rate on Americans making over $10 million a year is "too radical," remind them of THIS: Under Republican President Eisenhower the top marginal tax rate was 91% on Americans making over $200,000 a year, which is $1.7 million in today's dollars.

It was never about states rights. That was a lie Republicans told so people would vote for them. Now they have consolidated power at the federal level, they’re going to consolidate it at the state and local levels. America just “states rights” themselves into tyranny.
