Walls of text and C&P graphics don’t change the facts:It only seems that way to you. My point is that most Americans benefited when the U.S. income tax was very steeply progressive.
The following charts demonstrate that most Americans did not benefit from Present Reagan's tax cuts for the rich.

Your mind seems to be the prison of a few right wing cliches, and a fortress against facts that would contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the U.S. economy.
Again, irrelevant blather. Get over yourself.
You do not even understand the difference between an empirical fact and a normative opinion. An empirical fact can be verified. A normative opinion is nothing more than a way of feeling about something.Walls of text and C&P graphics don’t change the facts:
If you support government that taxes at a higher rate from those with ability, and redistributes to those with perceived needs, you are either a Marxist or a useful idiot.
Words have meanings. Your difficulty in understanding them isn’t my problem.I find it difficult to reason with someone who refuses to reason, and is only capable of repeating time worn cliches.
More irrelevant blather and opinion from you. Telling that I provide one of the central tenets of Marxism as my example and you tap-dance around it with passive aggressive insults and examples of why Marxist policies have been a good/popular thing in the past. Think better, those shit tactics won’t work against me, kid.You do not even understand the difference between an empirical fact and a normative opinion. An empirical fact can be verified. A normative opinion is nothing more than a way of feeling about something.
Your opinions are not based on learning and understanding, but irritable attitudes.
Thanks for that insight, Captain Obvious.
Do you know what "progressive tax" means?
Do you know what effect taxation has on an activity, say "generating wealth", for example?
During the Administrations of President Eisenhower and President Kennedy the top tax rate fluctuated from 91% to 92%.
Nevertheless, the rich paid a higher percentage of their income than they do now. Also, a high top tax rate gives the government considerable control over the economic behavior of the upper class.A rate that nobody ACTUALLY PAID.
I would say that Jim Rohn was correct on this.According to Rachel Sheffield and Robert Rector of the Heritage Institute:
"In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed, 'This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.' In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution."
The War on Poverty After 50 Years
------------
This is an astonishing assertion, but I have never seen it disproved.
When President Johnson declared the War on Poverty, he placed Sargent Shriver in command of the project. Sargent Shriver announced "a ten year plan to end poverty in America."
Obviously this was not achieved. What did happen was that millions of the working poor were turned into an unemployable underclass, the members of which often supplement their welfare checks with the gains from criminal activity.
The only politically sustainable way to end poverty, or even alleviate it, was to turn the poor until a stable working class whose members obeyed the law and paid taxes.
The Rich hire millions of workers and will put the USA on the planet Mars. The poor sweep the floors. And why? Nobody taught them goals. Nobody taught them planning. Nobody taught them that as Musk once was low class, as was Gates and so was Jeff Bezos, they can also be. Rather they listened to Democrats who blasted the rich and acted as if poverty was desirable. Democrats amount to human mosquitos.Nevertheless, the rich paid a higher percentage of their income than they do now. Also, a high top tax rate gives the government considerable control over the economic behavior of the upper class.
Welcome to the Sperm-Bingo ParlorThe estate tax was introduced in a deliberate effort to prevent the United States from developing a hereditary upper class. I think it is a beneficial reform.

It doesn't eliminate the problem. Large inheritances must be abolished and confiscated; Birth-Class Supremacy is the very reason our forefathers left Europe. Merely taxing this cancer on progress did not surgically remove it. We've become a country where success is primarily based on birth, not worth.
Representation Is a Re-Presentation of All Previous TyranniesYeah... because no communist or socialist government ever resulted in an elite class with most people in poverty before.

All Communist governments are republics. That is not a perversion of the term; it is what such a foster government inevitably leads to. The Rightists' illusion that their Constitution would empower "wise stewards" is no different from the Bolsheviks' self-empowering fantasy of a "vanguard" clique.
In his elitist Republic, the degenerate patrician Plato proposed that it be under the absolute rule of "guardians." Notice that the race-traitors used that term to change the name of the Cleveland Indians.
Ignoring These Moochers When They Should Pay All Taxes, Ending This BickeringWe do not want just "someone else" to pay more. We want someone else who is rich to pay more.
Fooled in PhiladelphiaWe vote for representatives who rarely represent our actual values or positions on issues.
Have you studied this book? I participated in it's creation by working with the author in debates.Weewee on the People
That is exactly what the ruling class's Constitution established. All republics are elitist schemes to empower "a tiny handful of people." Those who glorify the Constitution can't complain about its inevitable results. The same elitists practice totalitarian mind-control, or this contradiction would never be preached so loudly and forcefully by its victims.
You are promoting theft. Can't you see that?Ignoring These Moochers When They Should Pay All Taxes, Ending This Bickering
Only if he didn't earn his wealth, which no heirs do. That includes what he made after being set up to make easy money from what Daddy subsidized him with.
The Ruling Class Had Different Intentions for UsAmericans were intended to be independent, strong people who depended upon themselves NOT professional politicians.
