Robert Reich appeared on The Daily Show Thursday night, making much sense on taxes, government spending, and the influence of money.
On taxes.
REICH: Under Dwight Eisenhower, the highest marginal income tax rate was 91%. He was a Republican. He was a former general. And, you know, nobody accused him of being a communist or a socialist. And I’m not suggesting we go to 91%. I’m just saying, in those years, we had three decades after the second World War, the economy grew faster than it’s grown since and even after all the deductions and tax credits, people at the top were still taxed around 55, 56 percent.
TV in Review: Community, “Virtual Systems Analysis”

Community this week focuses on a specific relationship, and it’s not the one you might expect. Yes, it’s obvious that Troy and Britta have a brewing brouhaha, but it’s Annie’s attempt to play matchmaker with the two of them that leads her into confrontation with Abed. Annie and Abed enter into a world of simulations, with characters playing other characters, all coming together to suggest that imagination can be utilized to explore and strengthen friendships.
So, shall we join the group?
