The top federal tax rate right now is 43.4%. In the '90s, it peaked at 39.6%. So I'm not sure this is an easy assessment. The lowest quintile is paying less than 2% now, which is one-fourth of what it was a decade ago. Are you arguing that we should focus tax increases on the lower half? Seems fairer in some ways, but I think even a die-hard Republican would blanche a little at that approach.
