So, they have the most to give and have been helped by the US name. 
 In 1980 the top ate was 70%. Workers got raises 2 to 3 times a year. After the top rate was dropped to 35% the pay raise slowed to about once a year in a few years. At a rate of 70% give incentive to give workers a raise instead of paying the Government that 70% of income? As the richest taxes have gone down so have pay raises. Coincident? Don't think so.
