      Let’s not start by throwing more money at a problem. Let’s fix the problem and then we can explore throwing more money around.

      I’m probably the only guy who agrees with you but your post and I will get downvoted to hell in this sub.

      If Jeff Bezos was taxed 91%, he would still have $18 billion, which is still too much. If he was taxed 99%, he would still have $2 billion.

      Yes, let’s start by giving the world elite, a bunch of satanic pedos, more and more of our money. That’s how things will get better. Fuck outta here.

      The statement is true, in that the rate WAS that high, but the top 1% in 1950s paid an average of only 42%. that’s because the top bracket only applied to INCOME (not wealth) of over $200k – the equivalent of $2 million today. What this means is that the “top 1%” did not include very many folks earning the equivalent of $2 mill today. Also, the top tax rate only applied (same as today) to the income ABOVE the $200k level. There is no doubt that having a rate that high lead to folks deferring income, avoiding income and otherwise playing games to avoid paying 91 cents of every dollar earned to the fucking government. Pretending like this would be a GOOD thing is hilarious and shows a complete lack of understanding of wealth, income and taxes.

      How about having all the illegals that get paid under the table pay taxes like the rest of us, and also don’t get all the benefits the rest of us don’t qualify for.

      1950 the population of the country was 150 million.

      And you could buy a house for next to nothing.

      It’s not possible to continue to bring in more people every year and not have it effect things like rent and housing prices.

      Unfortunately, you can’t achieve prosperity by increasing tax rates on individuals.
      It’s correlation at best that these occurred at the same time, definitely not causation.

      How about we get rid of the parasites who drain the national coffers and don’t contribute to the national treasury so that we don’t have to increase our taxes so high to support them.

      Or we can do that and continue with deportations. If you aren’t a citizen you shouldn’t be here. -signed every first world country
