(anyway it isn't 'increasing' taxation, just returning it to the levels which worked in the past from the levels recklessly implemented from about 1981, which caused the depression).
What?
Prior to Reagan's tax-actions, the top rate was always in the 70%+ range from the 1930s to 1981 or so. Our current economic troubles prove the damage caused by lowering it.
So you want return to the "great economic boom" of the 1970's. I guess all the gas-lines and high prices were just for fun right. What about the collaspe of the Penn Central do to overregulation and overunization of the Railroads. Was that just for kicks. Low taxes didn't cause this economic meltdown.
