>>People are taxed massively more now than at any time in history...

Please explain that comment in the context of 94% top income tax rates in the U.S.

And also explain how it is the U.S. recently had a president who said tax cuts were necessary somehow because running a surplus and paying off the debt is bad, and once at war and running large deficits again would not consider a war time tax.

Taxation implies profit. There used to be a time when war profiteering got you sent to jail.
