We need to keep raising it higher. Anyone who works 40 hours per week should not be poor. There was once a time when that was true. Let's make it true in the future.

We also need to reduce or eliminate taxes on the poor and double, triple, quadruple taxes on the rich. Remember that under Eisenhower the top marginal income tax was 80%.

This is a good start. Thank you and happy new year spanone.
