That rate, 91% was on all income above $1 million dollars. Equivalent today of about $3 million. We could make it above $10 million and still balance the budget, pay off the national debt and have universal healthcare, paid maternity leave, etc. etc. etc.

We are living through the most corrupt administration in American history. While Trump makes billions, American families are struggling in the face of rising costs and Republicans are completely silent about it.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

Missouri is already projected to lose $500 million this year by cutting the capital gains tax. We are set to another lose 2/3rds of our state revenue by cutting the income tax.
I honestly don’t know what will become of the state, but I think it’s going to be very bad.
Republicans can’t govern.

Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.
