The nonsense patrol seems to be out in force this evening:

Gary Crum – “We now have 70% of Americans working in service sector jobs. Most of them at or just above the minimum wage. and....."

Actually the labor force participation rate (the percentage of working age adults gainfully employed) in the U.S. is currently 62%. Sorry Gary, but your numbers just don’t add up.

TheOtherHand --- “The highest rate was 92% under Eisenhower and those were boom years.”

No one ever really paid this hypothetical tax rate. This is a fashionable fable often invoked by Leftist propagandists. During the debates leading to the 16th Amendment more prescient members of congress suggested that the rate be limited to less than 5 per cent. Sadly these arguments were dismissed because nobody could have imagined that congress would so egregiously exploit this new taxing authority.
