Which is a healthier economy to you?

[OddBeMe]

Remember... the 1950s (when America was great) had 90% tax rate and the GI bill. And the covid vaxx came from the CDC which Dr Brainworm just cut.

One that cuts govt services and cuts taxes

One that taxes and spends on infrastructure

[exitseven]

I would rather see tax cuts. Services like condoms for polar bears and Sesame Street in ElSalvador are a total waste of money and any money going to illegal aliens is just flushing tax dollars down a black hole. Fire up that chainsaw Mr. Musk.

[OddBeMe]

I'm sure you would. But as you and my father will come to realize, govt needs taxes to pay for your retirements.

[exitseven]

That money will not be affected unless you are an illegal alien or dead.

[DrPepper12]

Then think of you're grandkids or great grand kids. It's not ALL about you!

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 My kids all are college graduates and they all make more money that I do. They all own houses and if I ever have grandkids they will not be on welfare.

[DrPepper12]

God willing

[beefcakebradybatson]

Let me see... We were using segregated facilities, shools, etc. and being lynched in the 50's, so F**K THE FIFTIES !!!

[OddBeMe]

Very true.

[beefcakebradybatson]

The MAGANs would LOVE a return to the 50's for that reason !!!

[DrPepper12]

Yeah, the 1850s...

[Sevenpointfive]

can we get an ELON parade too? they could do the same day and it's totally in the budget.

[seeyounexttuesday]

America's booming economy in the 50s was because the industrial base of most of the world was decimated. And the effective tax rate was no where near 90%. So once again, you're full of shit.

[OddBeMe]

you're not wrong. But how did we pay for it? 90% tax rate on the rich

[seeyounexttuesday]

the effective tax rate was no where near 90%

[DrPepper12]

Yes it was. The MARGINAL tax rate. Eisenhower. Check it out.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@DrPepper12 And as I said, the EFFECTIVE tax rate was no where near that. The.025% of people making over 200k were averaging around 40% after deductions.

So quit your bullshit.

[OddBeMe]

And yet it was PAID FOR by making billionaires pay

[beefcakebradybatson]

It was 90% on all income (NOT wealth!!!) over $6,000,000 USD annually under that Commie Eisenhower, though there were plenty of exemptions.

[DrPepper12]

@beefcakebradybatson Eisenhower a commie? I'm beginning to think you're a troll in Mumbai...

[beefcakebradybatson]

@DrPepper12 It's SATIRE, fool !!!

[seeyounexttuesday]

@OddBeMe and not 90% as you lie about.

[OddBeMe]

Can't argue with idiots.

[seeyounexttuesday]

That’s why I avoid arguing with you

[OddBeMe]

Yet you show up on my feed time and again,

[seeyounexttuesday]

you need to be called on your lies.

[OddBeMe]

Wha lies? Did we not have a 90% tax rate in the 50s? Yes or no?

[seeyounexttuesday]

No we did not. I explained it very clearly. Sorry you can't read.

[OddBeMe]

Huh

“In 1952 and 1953, the top federal income tax rate was even higher, reaching 92%”

[seeyounexttuesday]

What was the effective rate?

[seeyounexttuesday]

I mean we can just write down our current tax rate is a million zillion percent if that makes you feel better.

[OddBeMe]

What you fail to realize is American business will still do business even for 10% profit.

[seeyounexttuesday]

What you fail to realize is that you were proven to be full of shit once again.

[OddBeMe]

You seem to think effective tax rate means something different

[seeyounexttuesday]

It doesn't mean you get to claim the tax rate was something it wasn't.

[OddBeMe]

That’s kinda what we’ve been sayin moron. Marginal only to the rich. Now the rich want govt spending but doesn’t want to help pay for it.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Never 90% dipshit.

[OddBeMe]

I can’t argue with stupidity. It was 91% for certain rich fucks in the 50s. Paid for the GI bill.

[seeyounexttuesday]

no it wasn't.

[OddBeMe]

Sorry.. what?

[seeyounexttuesday]

What does effective tax rate mean?

[OddBeMe]

Tax liability against your income. But the rich dont have incomes dumbass

[OldBlu]

Nancy pelosi is worth $120 million and she says she's not rich. In her scrambled mind she probably thinks having 121 million is rich and should be taxed it 99%.

[DrPepper12]

MAGA likes to deny the Eisenhower admin

[OddBeMe]

Except with Operation Wetback. No one's a hero

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 Eisenhower created the interstate highway system. It really opened the country up to travel. His administration made the model for mass deportations. He also played a lot of golf but his administration presided over a lot of the post war growth that we had.

[OddBeMe]

@exitseven yeah he was one of the last good repubs. Still did op wetback. And let the cia do dome freaky shit in South America that killed thousands. #noonesahero

[exitseven]

Operation Wetback was a success. And Ike warned us all about thr military industrial complex

[NicholasRedone]

I immediately voted B lol 😆😂

[Still-alive]

Tax the Rich!

[NicholasRedone]

@Still-alive I did vote socialist at my last federal election 🤭😄
