The best time for middle-class Americans was after WWII until Reagan's catastrophic 80's tax reform. The rich paid high income taxes but still thrived, while the middle class could afford homes, states had free higher education, & other benefits. Tax reform is an urgent priority.

F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now
