uh, as can be seen by the graph as presented (graphs are generally presented to try and promote the authors’ cause, and since these authors’ cause is the care and feeding of the ultra-wealthy, we can assume that since the graphs show that maximum benefit is between 75 and 80% is the best top tax rate, it is the LOWEST top tax rate which might be best.) Let’s accept this article’s graphic conclusion and adjust top tax rates to 75-80%!
I know you’re trying to be funny, but that actually would make a lot of sense. If you study macroeconomics, there is no other consideration as to what the tax rate should be for the very wealthy except at which rate revenue is maximized. See http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/09/what-you-add-is-what-you-get/ for a clear explanation as to why. Don’t cry for the ultra-rich — even Romney says they are doing OK.
