I prefer Democrats as president, because when they are NOT president, the entire media cannot SHUT THE FUCK UP about politics for a second.
When Clinton was president, when Obama was president, life seemed better because the media is on their side and it's easier to focus on other things. But with Bush/Trump, the media is all against them so all we hear in everything, is politics 24/7. All the news, shows, movies, games, books, everything is about politics now when Republicans are in office.
Anyone else know what I mean? I hate the Dems but goddamn if life doesn't seem better under them, for the sole reason that everything becomes less political
100% agreed. I am a red-pilled Democrat myself and I just wish my party was more pro-white. REAL white people from the North-East vote Democrat

>While it is true that the United States had a 90 percent top marginal tax rate, the first thing to point out is that this was a top marginal tax rate. So, for example, if you make $30,000 a year and there’s a 20 percent marginal tax that kicks in on income above $25,000, you only pay 20 percent on the $5,000 of income above that threshold. So in this example you would pay $1,000. Your marginal tax rate may be 25 percent, but your effective tax rate is only 3.3 percent.
>Back in 1955, the top marginal tax rate was 91 percent, but it didn’t come in until a wage earner earned what amounted to $3,426,776 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) when filing jointly. (Only applied to the 0.1% top earners)
If we reapplied this code today, it would apply to almost no one, and those affected by it could easily avoid it by adjusting their income streams. Let's see how this plays out. >[Stupid Communist Canadian that never learns]: Hey people that make $3.5 million a year, we're raising income taxes on you! >[CEOs and bankers] uh... company, most of my income is already in company stock... but can we adjust it so my salary is below $3 Million and the rest is paid in stock? >[Board] Sure!

(((Facebook))) will go BANKRUPT because (((Zuckerberg))) will spend ALL his Fortune on the Titanic-tier Shipwreck of a Campaign he will have.
also, since Trump has a Twitter Account, and (((Zuckerberg))) owns (((Facebook))), the 2020 Election will Literally be Twitter vs (((Facebook))).
after (((Zuck))) the Cuck loses, (((Facebook))) will go BANKRUPT, because he will spend ALL his Fortune on the Campaign.

We're all sick of their whining but all you have to do is turn them off. They're all proven liars and that was never more evident than during the 2016 election.

lol u retards do realize that the tax bracket right before it was 88%. Yeah 91% was the top one but there were a whole bunch before that.
You've never seen this table have you?
You fucking retards argue like morons.
Liam Ortiz
oops correction the tax bracket before 91% was 90% lol. Then 89%, 87% etc
Xavier Richardson
everything is a marginal tax rate, and the effective tax rates were NO WHERE NEAR the 70% you advertised.
If implemented today, you would see a vast movement of lawyers, engineers, and doctors moving to be paid their excess salary in company stock or 401k.
Xavier Morgan
lol holy shit you're retarded
Yeah no fucking shit 91% was the top marginal rate. Their effective rate was around 70% because they're paying those lower rates at every income increment.
Are you retards retarded?
Logan Lopez
91% applied to income ABOVE $3.2M inflation adjusted.
You retards have no clue how tax brackets work. you prove it every time
Mason Ward
and I'm not arguing for that today. I'm saying that's what it was back then.
The billionaires you shill for sure as shit don't need tax cuts today tho. I get that u want George Soros to get a tax cut but I don't think he needs 1.

>For every year between 1952 and 2014, the government has brought in between 17 and 20 percent of GDP in tax revenue and between 7 and 9 percent of GDP in income tax revenue. Furthermore, since at least 1980, the percentage paid by the top 20 percent has gone up. In 1980, the top 20 percent paid 55 percent of all income taxes. In 2013, they paid closer to 70 percent. It appears pretty obvious that, while yes, there was a 90 percent tax rate on the books, no one actually paid it.
Income taxes collected from the rich by percentage of total tax revenues have only INCREASED since the 1950's.
So going back to your retarded plan would lessen taxes on the rich.
Logan Johnson
> Indeed, the top effective tax rate was probably somewhere between 50-60% because of a tax code full of loopholes. Now, that’s still higher than today’s top effective tax rate of around 30%. But those 1950s tax rates actually generated less tax revenue than subsequent periods of lower rates
hmmm... Commie leaf BTFO again!
Elijah Flores
>It appears pretty obvious that, while yes, there was a 90 percent tax rate on the books, no one actually paid it.

Quote from a far-lefty economist Thomas Piketty on why your idea is shit
>Does the fact that the United States did it in the past necessarily imply that we should immediately return to 80-90 percent top marginal rates? Of course not. … It could be that the right level is 70 or 60 percent. … Most importantly, I said very explicitly that I was talking about very, very high incomes, and that at least 99.5 percent of the population would be unaffected by this new top rate. … I firmly believe that imposing a 70 or 80 percent marginal rate on large segments of the population (say, 25 percent of the population, or even 10 percent, or even a few percentage points) *****would lead to an economic disaster*******. And I made very clear that the reason I propose to focus on the very top end because this is where the labour market and the pay determination process are not working properly—or, more accurately, have completely gotten out of hand.
Isaiah Thomas
I see what you mean. It seems anytime we elect a right or slightly right leaning president, people act like its the end of America even though things feel about the same since the last (D) was in office.

Nolan Baker
you're saying that 70% tax rates worked back then.
The issue was almost no one was making those high wages, so there was no political pressure for those tax rates to drop. Once more people started making those high wages, the taxes naturally dropped.
You're arguing it worked better, when it didn't. The government wasn't making money at those bracket levels because NO ONE WAS IN THEM.
and obviously the left doesn't want to simplify the tax code because they're the ones that benefit the most from it. People who make less than $25k or so today currently receive a net benefit from taxes.
and they continually whine they have the shit end of the stick. The middle class has been paying for your welfare forever and you're crying because you don't want Trump to give the middle class their money back.

Look at your first post You only looked at the top tax rate of 91% and claimed nobody paid it. That's wrong. Any income above $3.2M was taxed at that rate.
But here's the key. You're so fucking retarded, you didn't know about all the other tax brackets until I showed you. You can clearly see the very progressive tax system with many, many brackets. People paid much higher tax rates all the way up. That's what u don't get.
You're just here to shill for tax cuts for billionaires. You're pathetic. You are a total and complete shill for the wealthy elites. You dont even try to hide it.

Fuck you. Life under Obama was absolutely miserable. Things in this country were getting visibly worse by the fucking week if you lived anywhere outside of some rural hillbilly no-mans land or rich suburban enclave. You could actually literally see you environment deteriorating around you with time. The fact that the media kept applauding it and people ignoring it was what made it so infuriating.
Its a VERY good thing the media is being antagonizing over everything and Trump has unleashed their rabid beast from within. Their former silence was so loud it was deafening and only sheltered idiots couldnt pick up on it.

Kevin Foster
You don't even understand what I'm saying >tax revenue collected as a percentage of total revenue by tax brackets on the rich was much lower in the 1950s the tax rates on the rich were higher, but there were fewer rich people to tax. No one complained, because the high tax rates only hit a few people. and most of them were able to dodge it through loopholes. Even your lefty economists are saying this.
left economists propose tax raises only on the 0.05% richest, but your average lefty wants to raise them on the middle class by using that stupid 1950s argument.
for the record I'm fine with increasing tax rates on the rich. But every lefty just wants to raise them on the middle class. Or they get easily distracted by the kikes.
It's the fucking kikes that are all in that 0.05% tax bracket, and when you assholes went to protest them, you know what happened? They played on your idiotic equality notions and changed you into white-genociding assholes. Now its all about "white privilege" and everyone forgot about the banks.

Julian Davis
yeah, i admit that. but as i said 3 times now, there was no political pressure to lower those rates to be competitive. Do you know the reason? Because no one was in those tax brackets. I'll state it 4 times so maybe you'll get it. We are collecting much much more money (as a % obviously) today at lower tax rates than we were in the 50s, because there are more people, as a percentage in those brackets now.
The basic principle is the more people you have in a tax bracket, the more political clout they have to create loopholes, or basically negotiate a lower marginal tax rate.
i haven't read about trumps cuts, just glanced, he wants to reduce corporate rate from 35% to 20% I've been saying this is a good idea for years. If you do the research, only 10% of businesses pay the full 35% rate and its the small businesses that can't afford accountants & lawyers & lobbyists to deal with the loopholes.

You mean the new middle class that was increasingly in the 50-60% tax brackets created in the 50s gained more political power (by increasing in numbers) and negotiated a lower rate by electing Reagan.
But your post just proves you were lying about only wanting to tax billionaires. Now you're talking about the "40%" Obama wanted, which was solely aimed at the middle class. And you never acknowledged my point that it was the very Jews you claim you want to tax are the same ones that derailed your Occupy movement.

Don't change the subject you fucking kike. I asked about the tax code complexity that YOU were complaining about and brought up. This complexity allows the loopholes YOU were complaining about.

Even your ultra-leftist politifact says the bush tax cuts didn't cause the recession. >The Great Recession emerged "in large part because of tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy, failed to invest in the middle class, took their eyes off of Wall Street, and created a perfect storm.
