Because the alternative is Morman Romney.

I'm hoping Gary Johnson can get to 15% in the polls to have a spot at the national debates.

So 50% tax as the top marginal rate?
Not sure if serious.

Income > ~$150K was subject to a 28% max taxrate.

Can One liberal, just one, please provide a link showing that the top income bracket pays a smaller rate. It might be true that a few of the wealthiest find loopholes, but that doesn't give the great divider a right to raise taxes.

smart politics and not ridiculous

Reagan did raise taxes when the deficit increased and he was against lowering capital gains tax rates below the level of income tax rates

So you'd favor reinstituting Reagan's code as a solution.

Great.

Look at how well that Perot run in '92 worked out in the end for as to who won.

What do you think about JFK's tax decrease on the wealthy-the largest tax cut in American History. By the way, you trying to say that the tax raises by Reagan is the reason why the economy boomed is absolutely comical.

1983???

Tax increase???

Perhaps you should look at your sources a bit closer, including gaining a more appropriate understanding of the difference between tax rate increase and tax revenue increase.

Correct. Mormons are bigots. They believe that black people are the cursed decendant of Cain.
