from 1950-1963 top tax rate was 91-92%, those were good years for our economy

[Sinjorri]

Someone on here referred to people paying over 92% in taxes as the good old days....
Kind of tells us just what we are up against folks.

i think its go for broke time and the left will play al the cards, if they lose not that big of a deal and if they can attrach more crazies, all the better.

Radio host Thom Hartman...the most beloved liberal the left has.
Backed away from the opinion he put forth that higher taxes = a better economy.
He spit it out and was challenged by his guest and backed down.

There has to be other factors....
If this was true then why doesn't government just take all our money....

I know most Libs would love that...

This is crazy talk....
More taxes.more spending,then more taxes,then more spending...
People are barely making it now with all the friggin taxes and you want more...

 

[Truthmatters]

the top tax rate ranged from 94 - 70% in those years

 

[Truthmatters]

How do you claim raising it a little will cause disastor when it never has before?

both times we had a major crash the taxes had been at very low historical rates for five years prior

 

[buckeye45_73]

So TM lets recreate that economy, with the spending, welfare programs and the regulations they didnt have to anchor the economy

 

[Truthmatters]

facts are facts

yes they do TM and his people will break any and all to prove they are right. Your money is theirs and they will show you hwo to spend it better than you.

TM is an Obamabot, she doesnt even realize they had even more tax deductions and she really has no clue on tax policy.

She is not even worth of Debate, I debate with other people on her Threads, but it's pointless to debate with her. When Confronted with Cold Hard facts that prove she is clueless, she simply screams liar.

 

[Truthmatters]

were they the glass steagal years?

do u volunteer extra money?

Do you intentionally cut your income when you have bills to pay?

Didn't think so.

 

[Zxereus]

It is immoral to take more from one citizen than another.

Here is where I would be willing to meet liberals half-way.

Tax everyone at the same rate.

Those who earn more, would pay more in actual dollars.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Both BIG world wide economic crashes happened after the top tax rate was lowered

In 1988 the top rate was 28%.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

In both examples it took merely five years of low tax rates on the top to produce a crash

Where was the crash after 1988?

I thought it was wrong for the government to force someone to buy something.
But then they called it a tax and said to the American people Suck it.

WEll I live in Memphis, and actually people that dont want to pay alimony or child support WILL do that.

[Trajan]

what makes you think it will be bad if we raise their taxes a little?

because obama thinks it bad to raise taxes in an uncertain economy......he signed off on them didn't he? in 2010?

a 10% raise is not "a little"
