Clinton never controlled both the house and the senate. Look at the tax rates when those things happened.

The 103rd (93-95) US Congress had a Democratic majority in both chambers of congress.

 

 

Ops. I stand corrected. I was thinking a supermajority. The times Democrats had a supermajority (so no filibustering) was in 1933, and 1965.

in 1933 the tax was raised from 25% to 63%. In 1965 the tax percentage stayed in the 70's. but Washington introduced "The Great Society" Read this and see if it sound familiar...
