Ocasio-Cortez “definitely knows more economics than almost everyone in the GOP caucus.

GOP Strategist Calls Ocasio-Cortez 'The Little Girl.' She Lets Him Have It.

Nobel economics laureate Peter Diamond — “arguably the world’s leading expert in public finance,” according to Krugman — has calculated the optimum top tax rate at 73 percent. Several other experts back that up.

So Ocasio-Cortez, “far from showing her craziness, is fully in line with serious economic research,” Krugman added. Republican policy to keep taxes on the wealthy low, on the other hand, “rests on research by … well, nobody,” he added.

Krugman’s conclusion: Ocasio-Cortez “definitely knows more economics than almost everyone in the GOP caucus.”

Well, whadaya know!

Republicans and economics. They are even worse at that than they are with science.

Look at what they did under Reagan, then Bush and now Trump. Three economic disasters in a row.

Sad to see Krugman try to stay relavent as the Trump economy has blown him out of the water.

No it won't. It didn't before Reagan. It didn't under Eisenhower.

A similar tax rate was imposed in the U.S. for 35 years after World War II, which included some of the “most successful periods of economic growth in history,”

How do we know? It's called "history". We learn about it in school.

No they wont. That is not the corporate rate. All the people making over 5 million a year get automatically audited.

great idea--tax the crap out of the people so the economy will fail
if you read about the Medieval Age,to much taxing destroyed the towns/cities/etc

For decades after WWII, we were in the most economically expansive time in world history and the tax rate for the super rich were 70%. So you know what they did? They made more money. And what did Republicans use that money for? They made NASA. And the interstate highway system.

It's funny now, but the recessions at the time were a drag.
