Something approaching the tax rates before Reagan, who took the top tax rate from 70% to a ridiculous 28%. Only a higher top tax rate can't control ridiculous executive , sports star, and celebrity pay. And fix the goddamn infrastructure that has been falling apart for 35 years...
We here in Maryland are constantly fixing and upgrading our infrastructure problems.
The counties are leading the way in keeping runoff and sediment out of the waterways and our roads are kept up often.
The City is the main culprit of allowing sewage to overflow into the tributaries.
I'm not sure raising Federal taxes will address these issues.
