I saw this article this morning and wondered how long it would take to make it here.
Shitty article with fuzzy math.
Yes, people pay tax when they purchase gas or shoes. Yes, almost everyone who has a job pays Medicare/SS tax.

Apparently Mr. Leonhardt wants us to go back to the 70% top marginal bracket of the 70's and early 80's.
