We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams I saw an article yesterday by John Tierney about how the top income tax rate was the highest in history in 1913 when the top rate was at 94%.
