@phil_stevens @ianb @withaveeay absolutely. It helped create this generation of idiotic hyper wealth, and it still was worth it to avoid everything grinding to a halt. Then we just let the bail outs transition straight into robber barons ala gilded age and this is going to go so badly. I wish I could explain to the rich that a 95% marginal tax rate, including capital gains, is actually for their own good.
