Obviously that's referring to WW2, when the peak marginal income tax rate was temporarily raised to 94%. That was unsustainable because, absent a worldwide violent conflict, the highest income people will just emigrate to lower tax countries. All of our wars since WW2 have been wars of choice. The survival of our nation hasn't been at stake. |
