Proof Liberal Ideas Don’t Work No Matter Where They Are Tried.

Mitt Romney, the darling of at least 20% of registered republicans, wants to take the capital gains tax rate down to zero. That should really boost revenues. :thup:

Many here advocate a 90 percent rate.

Like that PINKO COMMIE DWIGHT EISENHOWER?

Hell, he paid off America's WW2 debt and built the interstate system and ALL the infrastructure that present day teabaggers enjoyed as they aged, but think their posterity can do without.

Yes, heaven forfend we raise taxes to what they were back when American middle class upward mobility was the envy of the entire world. We can't have the workers sharing in the gains of the fruits of their labor. MANAGEMENT and shareholders should get all the dough....I mean where would the workers be without the BRAINS and inherited wealth of the upper classes, right?

Yes because nothing has changed since the 1950s. Also that was that marginal rate and no one paid that rate. The average rate the wealthy paid was around 28%. Last, he did not pay for it as we went 26 billion more in debt in his presidency. By the way, that would be 4.133 trillion counting inflation.

Ike was President from 53-61. GOLLY...looks like the debt got paid down to ME!!!!


Got anything else you want to LIE about?
Oh that NO one paid that 91% top tax rate?

Gee, it appears that if you made over $400,000 in the 50's, that qualified for the top tax rate.

Are you suggesting that NO ONE in the 50's had INCOME of over $400,00 a year?
No, what happened is those rich people simply COMMITTED TAX FRAUD and didn't pay what they owed. Is that you're arguement? That rich people shouldn't have high taxes because they'll just commit tax fraud and heaven forfend we throw them in jail for STEALING from everyone else!
 
It's quite scary that this is a central tenent of the democrats.

It's freaking outrageous. I mean seriously wtf, take my money to pay for abortions, take my money to pay for Viagra, take my money to pay for bogus global warming grants, take my money for bogus wars, I'm so done.

I get that the city needs tax money to maintain parks and streets and schools and I am ok with that but the blatant scamming of my tax money is really screwed up.
 
You sure? The dollar's purchasing power has decreased by a factor of 2000?

Not certain but I used a calculator on the net to calculate how much 26 billion in 1960 would be in today's dollars.

Just to check and ran it through another site and it came up with the following

$26,000,000,000.00 in 1960 had the same buying power as $193,831,768,707.48 in 2011.
Annual inflation over this period was 4.02%.

Still a large sum of money to say it was all paid for.

Thaaaaat's more like it. Nothin' like the deficits post-Bush Tax cuts though.

Yeah! Taxing our way to prosperity. That works well.


Ok, it doesnt. But it sounds good and gets Dems elected.

You're such a fucking idiot!! I can't believe you didn't bother to read your own fucking graph!! Well, yes I can because YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT!!

That graph shows the public debt as a percentage of GDP...
 
Damn absolutists!

All liberal ideas do not work, some do.

Can you name 3? I mean, work in any sense other than helping Dems get elected.

40 hour work week
overtime pay
roads
bridges
sewage plants
unemployment insurance
snow clearing

just to name a few...

Roads? Democrats came up with the idea of roads? I thought Romans built roads.

Unemployment insurance does not work. It serves to keep people unemployed. Fail
Every other thing on the list was fought over 50 and 60 years ago. teh Dems of those days have little to do with today's Commo-crats.
Total fail.

Those are liberal ideas, huh?

Yes. Every one of them. If rightwing ideology had been held to, there would be no 40 hr work week, overtime pay, unemployment insurance and everything else on the list would be privatized.

Fact, not opinion.

Half of those were originated by that noted liberal von Bismark.
Fail.

No, liberal ideas are gay marriage, welfare, student loans, disability, rent control, Smoot-Hawley, Synfuels, unilateral nuclear disarmament, gas rationing, warning labels, uncontrolled lawsuits, abortion on demand, no fault divorce, food stamps, Solyndra, public education, affirmative action, and Obamacare. To name a few.
Every one a complete, utter, and gross failure not to mention a waste of taxpayer funds.

Do you ever tire of being an ineffectual anachronism?

Translation: YOu're right and I cannot refute that so I must insult and deflect.
Thanks!

:lol:

I don't bother explaining things twice, especially to closed-minded twits.

If it wasn't for liberal thinking, we'd all still be like the Middle East. Unlike you, I don't consider that better.
