I have to agree that high marginal taxes would cause a decrease in risk taking in business. As for the fact that the decrease in marginal tax rates continues to create a more uneven distribution of income, I think that is true. When marginal taxes are at 90% people don't get alot of money for all the work they do, so they are less inclined to go after jobs that might have a higher payout. If less of your money is being payed to taxes there is a higher payoff for and people go after risky jobs.<br />- james cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
