Your system is broken beyond repair if you really can't discuss returning to tax rates of (say) 30 years ago without invoking chaos. The business interests have won and it's game over. And by the way, I wasn't even talking about that, I was talking about raising the minimum wage, which is not a tax at all (but it is a gov't mandated increase in business costs, so effectively pretty similar to raising taxes - on some businesses).
