When the working person bears an unfair burden of taxation creativity, energy and the ability of the country to produce are eroded. The greatest periods of productivity and advancement in this country came from the time when people could carve out good life for their family simply by working hard. This time is gone. The listing below is important because it shows how the tax burden on the most wealthy has been adjusted to pre depression levels at this time. Tax brackets have also been lowered so the maximum tax is paid by the well to do, not just the really rich. The inverse correlation of taxing the rich to the economic health of this country actually predicts that the 2008 bailout will contribute to the economic crisis, not help it.
