I don't feel that it is. It's a marginal tax rate, not a flat 90%.

So what I mean is that last time they had high marginal income tax rates holding shares would simply entitle you to a number of benefits, a famous one of which is Disney's Club 33. Lots of things were available though. Yachts, ski cabins, ... Needless to say, zero tax was paid on this.

So good luck with that 90% tax rate. Not going to happen.
