Is A 70% Tax Rate On Incomes Beyond A Million Dollars Enough? Why Not Back To 90 Where It Used To Be Before 1963?
The weekend Paul Krugman was on fire after Republicans cluelessly went on the warpath against Alexandria Cortez again, this time because of her *60 Minutes* tax hike for the rich proposal. His *NY Times *column, The Economics of Soaking the Rich, started by asking "What does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know about tax policy?" and then answering... "A lot." I have no idea how well Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will perform as a member of Congress. But her election is already serving a valuable purpose.
