No, Clinton left a minor current surplus driven entirely by the efficiencies introduced by home computing and the rise of the internet economy and a projected surplus based on hilariously unrealistic assumptions, especially as he was leaving office the dot com crash was happening. Amusingly, most of those investors fleeing the dot com crash would invest into housing, an area already highly distorted by policies Clinton encouraged and subsidized, leading to poorly rated CDSs to become the norm in the field across all housing strata and leading directly to the 2008 housing crash.

The truly wealthy, who actually are behind this sort of shit, don't rely on income to generate wealth. So any changes whatsoever to income tax and even capital gains tax will not in any way, shape, or form significantly change their behavior. You want this shit to actually stop make all government pension funds and any stock held by the families of politicians indexed to the market, including for 5 years after their term of office is up.
