I wouldn't say ahistorical because, as Warren Buffet described, in the 70ties and 80ties taxes for the most wealthy were much higher and the economy worked better. Well, I don't personally but I am quite sure that Warren Buffet knows it, he's a little older than I am.

Unbelievable that this is America, this is a report from the German TV. They can't pay the police and firefighters.
