7. I do hope we have the courage to do what must be done

once we have taken back our country. And I think one of the main things that must be achieved is adjusting the tax rates to those that have proven before to work to everyone's benefit. I believe that was the 50's and 60's, wasn't it? Or was it earlier than that? But yes... I do think there's a high cutoff to money. Just as I think UNearned income should be taxed at higher rates than EARNED income. Passive income should come with more accountability and taxes than the measly amount earned by most workers in the U.S. And I think there should be a formula for the highest income level at a corporation or business... like, no person should be making 1000x more than the lowest paid worker. I don't know what the formula's numbers should be; again, I say look to the past to see what worked; but I do believe these are the types of issues we need to be thinking about early on when we regain the nation.
