On Thursday, House Democrats proposed a new bill that would create a minimum 45 percent tax rate on income more than $1 million, and a rate of 49 percent on income more than $1 billion. Rep.

Ever effort to create such an insane system has failed leading to dystopia because humans are built that way. Dumb as dirt! Perfect Club members!
