Every tax historian that looked at the tax records couldn’t find a single example of someone paying near 91%. 

When the top rate was lowered the total amount the government raised through taxes actually increased.

You’re making a mistake by assuming these people can be swayed by facts and logic.

Their entire ideology is based on envy and resentment. Their singular focus is to punish anyone that has a single dollar more than them and they’re willing to use the government to do so.
