Week 2: "Time to raise taxes on the rich" - CNN

• Worker productivity in the USA has been rising, along with the wages for the top 1% of Americans, but the wages for the rest of the American population have been inert.
• Almost 75% of Americans support raising taxes on the rich, including Republican voters.
• In the past, America has cut the taxes on the rich and expected it to help the economy again and again, but to no avail. 
• The actual tax rate that big businesses and corporations pay is now the lowest in several generations, and lower than what middle-class Americans paid in 2007.
