CONS: Did you know that your Glorious 1950s White Christian USA Paradise was paid by taxing the rich at 90%+? - b - 01-23-2013 09:32 AM
Um... Yeah... look it up. Your boy Eisenhower was taking the rich at rates as high as 92%. You do know that's how you "Good ol' US of A golden era" was funded... right?
Wait... doesn't that mean that the conservative dream of reverting the US back to the 1950s is really a... wait for it... wait for it... a SOCIALIST DREAM!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
yeah, go ahead, call me a child, a troll, a loser, a black criminal on welfare, I don't care.
Elliot - yes I have, I've done work for government information/network agencies related to EBT, SSI, and Medicare computer networks . So, I guess I have. Do you know how much business in this country is related to supporting entitlement programs? More than you think.
Johnny Sarko - No, i don't have to. Obama's tax rates are NO DIFFERENT. He's only taxing after a certain dollar amount. Go spray bullchit somewhere else.
SO WAIT A MINUTE - NOW ALL OF YOU KNOW WHAT A MARGINAL TAX RATE IS? HOW CONVENIENT HUH? BUT, WHEN IT'S OBAMA, HE WANTS TO TAKE EVERY DOLLAR FROM THE RICH RIGHT?
John - are you under the impression that's whats going to happen now? Because I knew all about the rates in the 50s and the RAMPANT tax evasion that was going on in New York and Hollywood at the time. The same kind that is happening now and will happen if Obama gets his way.
Gerald - THANK YOU. Why do cons think times have changed?

They like to deny history. Our economy was stronger back then as well. Effective or marginal tax rates, it doesn't matter, the rich still paid well over half of their income to taxes.

Or...we could eliminate waste and KEEP the job creators in AMERICA. I've never received a paycheck from someone on food stamps, have you?

blacks hadn't been victimized into incompetence and government slavery quite yet in the 50's.....they actually had jobs.....and executive pay was only 5-10 times more than average joe employee...unlike the 250-400 times it is now......

That and Glass-Stegal gave us a large middle class but lets not confuse them.

so what do you want to push grandma off the cliff

And then what happened? Kennedy cut the rates, why would he do that if tax cuts for the top 1% are so horrible and a dream of the GOP?
And did Eisenhower establish those rates?
- Ungratefulgirl845 - 01-23-2013 09:40 AM
That was the marginal rate. The effective rate was much lower, <50%. No one really paid a full 90% of his income.
