The upper 1/10 of 1% runs America today and we won't be able to say to them, "mommy may we" please go back to 1950 tax rates.
.........And in 1950 there was about 125,000,000 people in the US. Now there are around 350,000,000 legal ones.
.........You mentioned some good answers to some problems. But, there are more problems that I can think of just off the top of my head. The Supreme Court needs term limits. Congress needs term limits. That won't happen. In my opinion, 4 people are controlling the US today. .........about 3 or 4 Supreme Court Justices and one man (with glasses) in the house.

I disagree, lobbyists control country.
