The study calls for higher marginal tax rates and fewer tax deductions and credits aimed at high income earners. It also advocates wealth or inheritance taxes.

This is all pre-Great Recession but it is fantastic to see how those 'socialist' European countries were able to make 80% to 90% of the income gains go the the 99% for that 32 year period.
