I'm not really worried about what happened in 1924. I'm more concerned with the trends over the past 30 years and what's happening NOW.... which is, reliance on the top earners to pay a larger and larger share while a growing percentage of the population pays NOTHING. Is that what you consider fair?

Here is a little sneak peak into the very near future if Obama keeps getting what he wants:



You see what I'm saying?

so you are saying that people who have nothing and live in poverty should be on par with you % wise?

just wow.

Well I, for one, would kill to have your education.

Past 30 years, you say? Whoops! Looks like in 1979, 30 years ago, the top marginal income tax rate was 70%, positively punitive by today's standards, and stayed at 50% or above all the way until 1986. I might be rusty on my history, but did the American economy sputter and die then? I don't think so.

Me oh my, the top tax rate might jump up to 60%, 10% lower than it was all through the 1960s and '70s. Disaster on the horizon!

Keep it up man, I'm having fun.

LOL! Since you know about all the things I own, right? I love when you get all righteous like you'r some pillor of the community. But you're right- our country is going to shit, thanks to our current leadership.

btw still waiting for those stats that show me that you are not just talking through your ass as usual. I'll even accept fox news to make it easier on you.

man if ignorance is bliss you must be tripping hard.

You're an idiot. The 1979 70% tax rate was due to one termer Jimmy Carter who also gave us 12% unemployment. It was lowered by Reagan all the way down into the 30% range... which "coincidentally" lead to unprescended job growth (20 million +) and wealth creation, and an increased standard of living. Now we got another tax and spend maniac in the white house and here comes the massive tax burden.

Might want to check it again:

http://www.truthandpolitics.org/top-rates.php

70% top tax rate was in effect since 1971, six years before Carter even took office. And before that it was even higher, during those horribly unprosperous 1960s, LOL.

Come on, throw me another softball.

Man it is always those from the south . Weird this one has all of his teeth too.

Oh man, I really wish I didn't have to go to class.

Shut it, I am from the south. Was born in Canada, though.

"tax and spend"

bush going to war against the "evil doers" was free i guess.

Originally posted by The17sss I'll answer anyway- it's the principle of the matter for me. It's always "well just pay a little more... just pay a little bit more, what's the big deal?" And the people who usually say that are the ones who don't get routinely soaked with ever increasing rates and therefore have no problem with the concept. Take Joss' statement from the 1st page of this thread for example- he said he'd gladly give away 75% of his paycheck if it would do positive things for his community. Haha really? We're expected to believe that if he was making $100,000 per year, he'd gladly live off of $25,000 and give $75K away? Now in the U.S. you basically have 44% of the population NOT paying taxes, and the top 1% of earners' tax revenue has matched the bottom 95%. When people with money get taxed excessively, at least in this country, once that 50% threashold hits them, the wealthy stop investing and taking risks with their money which spur economic growth.
