> I remember the 90's. I think it takes a revisionist to say raising the top marginal rate was what caused the economic boom. I would guess the big drivers were low oil prices and that dot com thing.

But it doesn't take a revisionist to see that shows that raising the top marginal rate won't doom the economy, like many incorrectly claim.

No, it takes a person given to speculation. I think it's disingenuous to use the dot com era as your example because of the shear magnitude of value that was being created during that time period.
