When I was a child the top tax rate was 90%. My dad had converted some land to be sold for houses. He put in roads, sewer and electricity. But he only sold a couple of lots a year. I asked him why... he said because the government got 90% and he wasn't working for the government...
Be careful what you ask for (by the way, the government finally figured out that they were discouraging growth and lowered the top income rate).....
