The top-tier tax bracket motivated businesses to increase their spending. When the IRS is going to take 91% of any additional profits you are going to make, it is better for you to spend that money on tax-deductible “business expenses” than to keep those excess profits.
Those “business expenses” are someone else’s paycheck, so even if they were bullshit, they were a benefit to society.
Now, they just take those profits, invest them, and expect the economy to return more money to them than they put in. They converted that money from someone’s paycheck into a debt owed back to them.
