FDR tried to get it to 100% in the late 1930s.

I think the issue is more that wether bush's temp tax cut goes up or down won't make a difference. If Bush's tax cuts go away and we raised everyone's taxes to 100% it still won't cover this year's budget much less do anything to take us out of our defecit. Higher or lower taxes isn't the issue so why not let everyone keep more money. What really needs to happen is the government needs to lower its spending. When they do that then we'll talk about giving them more money.
