What is "irrationational?" The portmanteau does not seem quite to close. "Chauvinism" is already a word.
Don't you think the post WW II marginal tax rate of 91% on the top bracket had a little something to do with retiring the war debt?

Raising the current top rate from 36% back to the pre-Bush 39% is still a bargain if you want to make those WW II comparisons.
