I know your meme was meant to inflame but I'd say 70% marginal income tax over $10 million is a good starting point for discussion. We've always used progressive income taxation to help level inequality. The economy is so much more stacked against the working class than it was a generation ago, and the tax brackets need a tune up to catch up with the modern world.

So just to be clear about the original post - are you in favor of providing Trump less transparency in how it doles out the $500 billion? So far, he has shown himself to be about nothing if not his own personal self-interest.

OMG HOW COULD THE COUNTRY POSSIBLY SURVIVE???

Oh wait, we had between 70% and 93% top marginal tax rates from 1936 to 1981 and the real economy grew by over 6x

I'm tailoring a famous quote by journalist Matt Taibbi about Goldman Sachs to make it apply to current times:

The tRump Crime Family is like a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.
