    Remember when INSIDE MAN brought keener social/racial commentary than the ponderous, (Oscar-winning!) CRASH, while embedded in a fun heist movie? SUPPORT THE GIRLS (now free on Hulu) reminds me of it. A smart, insightful movie on today, hidden in a 90-minute workplace comedy.

    In 1980, the top tax rate was 70%, and it kicked in at about $658,200 in today’s dollars. The idea that it would be extreme to tax incomes over $10 million at 70 percent is ludicrous --especially since the case for soaking the rich is much stronger today.

    This is not a technical issue. Austerity politics in Congress led to a slower recovery which paved the way for Donald Trump. And in Europe austerity politics paved the way for the rise of right wing nationalism. Progressives must unequivocally reject it!

    McCarthy campaigned for a congressman (now former) in 2018 who lamented you could no longer call sexually active women “sluts.”

    And just like that: everybody's now talking about whether to tax the wealthy at 70%. That's called shaping the conversation.
