Now is the time to rise up

[Redfish]

No, it's time for you RWnuts to wake up,

wake up and realize that the rightwing nut world you envision for America will never ever ever ever happen.

a country that follows the constitution and its own laws is not nut world. A socialist dictatorship under the hildebeast would truly be nut world.

Whats really sad is that you are too stupid to realize that.

Another idiot ^^^ who chooses to offer the RED SCARE as if it is relevant. The crazy right wing members are not only mentally ill they are mentally retarded.

Obama has ignored and violated the constitution with his EOs and his refusal to enforce our borders and immigration laws. Call him whatever you want, my word for him is traitor.

That's, "Mr President Traitor", to you, pal!

OK, Mr. president traitor is just fine--------------and accurate.

Trump only has a couple of days left in which to make a fool of himself. Will he wast that time? I don't think so. he will start doubling down on the stolen election again Monday. By Wed. morning his bus ride to oblivion will have begun.Palin has been saving him a seat.

OR, the corrupt Clinton crime syndicate will be eliminated from our government forever.

It amazes me that there remain fools like you who want to turn your lives over to this corrupt lying bitch.

Do you want higher taxes? you must because that's what she is promising you.

I can remember when the marginal tax rate was 92%, which was back in around 1959, and it was one of the most prosperous periods in this country's history. Consequently, i don't join in to the whine fest about today's marginal rate of 35%.

Actually, in the 50's, the effective tax rate was about 40% or so.

People didn't move out of the country back then because it wasn't business smart. Travel was dangerous as we didn't have radar to pickup weather patterns, and the only way to meet with other executives was to actually fly somewhere and have meetings which could be several times a month.

Today you can meet with anybody and everybody from your computer. Travel is cheaper and safer. You don't have to fly back to the US to track your investments, you get all the up to the second changes right on your cell phone. You can even buy and sell from that very phone.

Now it is time for those who think that 8 years of virtual stagnant GDP growth is enough to rise up against the status quo.

Now it is the time for those who see their race used as a playing card to rise up against those who play that card.

Now is the time for those who are losing their jobs because of the government, coal miners, to rise up against the woman who is TELLING them that is what SHE is going to do to them.

Now is the time for those who are struggling for a job to rise up against a woman who PROMISES you that she will allow millions of low educated low skill workers to compete for the few jobs available today.

Now it is time for those who think that actually bombing the crap out of someone, Libya and Syria, and PROMISING nuclear destruction for a country, Iran, is worse than asking about the use of nuclear weapons, it is time to rise up.

Now is the time for those who think that someone who lied straight up to them and is now under FBI investigation for those lies it is time to rise up against such corruption.

Now is the time to rise up against those who accept 1 million dollars from foreign interests.

Now is the time for those who are frustrated by the SCOTUS rulings that have made law to rise up and not allow Hillary to make 3-4 SCOTUS nominations. It is TOO IMPORTANT to have her shape the country for the next 30 years.

Now is the time for those who have been shackled to the democrat party to break those bonds. The democrats take their base for granted. Time to rise up and show them that they can't treat you like crap and you will still vote for them.

Time to rise up against the establishment's darling.

Well, it's too early to start drinking

Actually, I wasn't talking about the effective tax rate. I was talking about the marginal tax rate. But, I am sure that there is a point in there somewhere about the cost of traveling.......

The point is when you tax people enough, they take their money and leave. That was less likely to happen back in the 50's when the top rate was 92% and the effective rate of 41%. Try doing that today, and half of the industry we currently have will move out of town so fast your head will spin.

If you read the link I provided, those people are leaving and giving up their American citizenships because of taxes.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Effective tax rate for what income?

The wealthy, but I don't know what was considered wealthy at the time. I do know that it applied to the .1% of income earners in the US.

I'm not sure I agree, but thanks for the answer. I'd have to put in way more research to have an opinion as to what constituted the wealthy at the time. The fact was there were so many income tax dodges that figuring gross income would be impossible, and compared to today, there just wasn't that huge concentration of ownership wealth in the top .1%.

I hated liberals long before Trump, I hate their guts, they are lying filth and I will never compromise with them, ever.

Lighten up, Francis.

That goes for all the Trump-loser internet tough guys on this thread.

The liberal infestation will be destroyed.

I would think there were many more loopholes today. After all, they didn't make less tax laws throughout the decades, they made more.
