Yet most of the left wingers on these forums blame Reagan, but IT WAS JFK that did the first big tax decrease on the highest marginal bracket, by 21% and he reduced corporate taxes as well while only reducing taxes on the lowest bracket by 6%. Major Supply Side economic move. I'll bet you call it trickle down.From 1941 to the 1960's we had high taxes on the rich and high wages. The taxes were invested in education and infrastructure and the high wages created consumer demand. Now we have low taxes for the rich and low wages, so 23% of total income goes to the top 1%.
70% of our economy is consumer demand. Too much money in too few hands starves the economy of demand.
Raise the minimum wage and tax capital gains as income.
When you say there is too much money in the hands of a few, do you think if that money was redistributed to the 2 or 3 lower quintiles they would invest that money to create jobs? You are totally economics challenged.I agree! Your left wing intentions have made 2 whole generations slaves to excessive welfare.A nice argument for slavery.I always do a good job. Sorry about your inability.Good job.
