That Charles Koch. He's such a selfless man. Why can't people see that?
What we see is that all the dick sucking drones who attack him are commie hypocrites.

Very well said. This idiot however believes that jumping into a river to save a drowning child that you don't even know is a "purely selfish" act, so don't expect anything like a worthy response, you won't get one.
I guess we can assume anyone on the message board promoting pure capitalism is getting paid to do so.
You already do because you know you wouldn't ever promote any ideal that you didn't personally benefit from. Every Obama dick sucking drone in here is a tick on the ass of society.
We know for a fact that Obama is paying drones like you to disrupt forums like this one.

During the gilded age the standard of living for the common man improved faster than any other time in history. Do you think John D. Rockefeller got rich selling Kerosene only to rich people?
From 1800 to the 1920s, inequality increased more than a hundredfold. Then came the reversal: from the 1920s to 1980, it shrank back to levels not seen since the mid-19th century.
What utter horseshit. The government didn't even gather statistic on income or wealth before the 16th amendment was passed, so how would anyone know? Just about everything you believe about history is made up.
The "reversal" came at the end of the 1920s when tax rates went up to 90%. The result was a depression that lasted for 15 years.
Yeah, that income inequality is a terrible thing.
BTW, numskull, when a society becomes industrialized, people acquire vast fortunes. You can't have one without the other. You see, the rich people are the ones who own the factories that employ everyone and churn out all those products that millions of people can now afford to buy. Most of a wealthy person's money is tied up in investments - meaning it's tied up in factories and machinery that provides the middle class with jobs.

The marginal tax rate was 25% in 1929.

Do you REALLY believe the people we are arguing with are capable of that?

The nonsense you believe is amazing. No wonder I hate most Americans. Dumb as dog shit, especially those like you.
That's what I thought...thanks.^^Is that supposed to mean something? I don't get it...Do you REALLY believe the people we are arguing with are capable of that?

Furthermore, liberals refuse to acknowledge that no one was actually paying 90% since you could afford a half assed accountant to take advantage of the many loopholes.Also, your chart claims the economy boomed in the 1950s with a top marginal rate of 90%, but it doesn't mention the 1930s when the top marginal rate was 85% and unemployment was as high as 33%.
I said nothing about a graphic, and nothing of the kind. What you can imagine is nothing that matters.You have zero ability to judge reality little friend.It means he's an idiot who thinks cartoons portray reality.

You believe that cartoon portrays reality, and you're claiming I have zero ability to judge reality? Talk about believing nonsense: you and your ilk believe that socialism can actually work and that government officials are honest and well intentioned and they care about your welfare.
I can't imagine any idea more stupid or obviously false than that.

And Socialism does work. It's just another economic system among many. The fact that it makes you wet your pants concerns me not in the slightest since you are a very stupid child.

Spreading "fundamental concepts of dignity, respect, equality before the law and personal freedom"...KOCH style...
ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATIONS & POLLUTION
- In 2000, the Clinton administration leveled a 97-count indictment against Koch Industries for covering up the discharge of 91 tons of benzene, a carcinogen, from its refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas. The company was liable for $350 million in fines; 4 Koch employees faced up to 35 years in prison. The Koch Petroleum Group eventually pleaded guilty to one criminal charge of covering up environmental violations, including the falsification of documents, and paid a twenty-million-dollar fine (Jane Mayer, Covert Operations, The New Yorker, August 30, 2010).
- The federal government sued Koch in 1995 over a reported 300 oil spills at pipelines owned by the company, which dumped an estimated 3 million gallons of oil into lakes and streams in 6 states. In 2000, Koch settled the case and agreed to pay $30 million in civil penalties.
- In 1999, a jury found Koch Industries guilty of negligence and malice in the deaths of two Texas teen-agers in an explosion that resulted from a leaky underground butane pipeline (Mayer). See the National Transportation Safety Boards report on the accident.
- A jury found Koch Industries guilty in 1999 of stealing millions of gallons of oil from public and Indian lands through fraudulent mismeasuring. This concluded a 20-year long legal battle between Charles and David Koch and their estranged brother, Bill Koch, who revealed the scheme and spearheaded the lawsuit. See the 60 Minutes story about the case.
- The University of Massachusetts at Amhersts Political Economy Research Institute released a study this year that named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States.
Wbat does any of that have to do with equality before the law?
You should be on your knees offering to service both Koch brothers for all the good they've done for this country. If you lived a thousand years you wouldn't have achieved one millionth of what they have.
Go tell your masters your arguments just won't cut it anymore. What a moron you are.I said nothing about a graphic, and nothing of the kind. What you can imagine is nothing that matters.You believe that cartoon portrays reality, and you're claiming I have zero ability to judge reality?

You chimed in just after the cartoon was posted that was used to describe me and then claim I don't understand reality.
Socialism doesn't work. There are only two fundamental types of economy: the government controlled economy or they privately controlled economy. Economists have shown time and time again that government control doesn't work.
What utter horseshit. The government didn't even gather statistic on income or wealth before the 16th amendment was passed, so how would anyone know? Just about everything you believe about history is made up.

Notice that your chart doesn't go below 1916, the year the 16th Amendment passed. Yet, you made claims about the period 1800 to 1920. Obviously, you're full of shit.
Also, your chart claims the economy boomed in the 1950s with a top marginal rate of 90%, but it doesn't mention the 1930s when the top marginal rate was 85% and unemployment was as high as 33%.
You theory doesn't hold water, numbnuts.
All your chart shows is that when tax rates are higher, people report less income. Furthermore, it's a chart of income, not wealth. Learn the difference.
We need more people like them to stand up for OUR FREEDOMS
But, I thinks it's too late
when you see our citizens defending this President and his wasteful, costly, entitlement called, ObamaCare...Or the fact someone like him with no experience in anything can be elected in the FIRST PLACE......I think we are history as a Free country and a Free people...
It's been painful to watch
