there was a thriving middle class.

Most rightwingers look back on the 1950s as the epitome of American prosperity.......and yet "forget" that we had a near 90% top marginal tax rate.
 
Looks about right Julie. In fact, since we now know that Rupert attempted to recruit Petraeus to run for president AND offered to bankroll him, Fox News is no longer simply suspected as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party.
 
I can see why -- it pulls back the curtain pretty effectively.

I'd add, I doubt CF knows much of anything worth knowing
 
Basic point, CF....your indoctrinated theory that "high taxes on the rich equal recession or stagnant economy"....like so many of your indoctrinated theories...

is refuted by history.
 
And yet you present no history to refute it.

However, the "just take more money out of the economy and it will fix everything" approach is just laughable on its face.
 
CF, I'm sure the "non-partisan, non-ideological" American Enterprise Institute can try to convince ditto-heads and Beck fans that the 1950s were a borderline Depression of static economy and stagnation.....

but people who actually LIVED during the 50s, will find it hard to believe. And people with LOGIC might find it a bit hard to believe, if things were so crappy in the 50s....

how did Ike get re-elected in 1956?
 
And I am sure the indoctrinated left is drooling over the possibility of raiding more money from producers. It's what the left revels in.

I know figures mean nothing to you, as you are showing. But that's alright. There's no way you will ever get what you want since Clinton opened up China.
 
Once upon a time:

Evil wealthy Democrats like Arkady started whining because the 275,000 to 300,000 tht they made caused thenm to be wealthy and taxed at the highest rates...and an online retirement calculator told him he could only retire with 192,000 to 232,000 per year and Arkady was sad...nay angered..he wanted to be taxed at a lower rate...but the evilest, the king of all said...how much did you donate to my campaign? My magic crystal ball says not enough...you qualify for welfare and your money is not your money it belongs to me and I decide how to redistribute the money.

The king lived in the White Castle,which used to sell burgers people would eat and buy, but the evil kings wife shut down the burgers, she went and publicly humiliated those who talked about eating foods she didnt approve of harshly. next to the White Castle was a bottomless pit, in which the King believed that in needed to be fed. It was called Eral and what the king fed Eral, reserves from the taxes,,,but that wasnt enough he spent everything, even though before he became King he told the people spending everything and more was wrong and then spent 5 trillion, nowe the people gathered and said this is too much and wondered why the King had fed Eral taxes and made the taxes higher, but the king was bling he knew nothing about economies and he though if he fed Eral reserves would be left to help in time of crises...and then time of crises canme andpeople needed jobs and they could find none...the King told everybody aout the jobs he created when he fed Eral...but still people suffered and there no more jobs. Poeple used to hire people had given their money to the king and he fed Eral, reserves were gone, and after 4 years 5 trillion in debt still did not fill the hole.

Meanwhile while the king was with the wealthy, he got one to say to everyone we need to give more taxes which the king would have fed Eral, though he hadnt given any money that would have fed Eral...in fact the kind said if you help get monies for me to throw in the bottom less pit, you can keep your money. But it turned out that many supported the king because he made them depedent upon him...they wanted to challenege him, but they were afraid that they would lose everything ...they king promised everything if they would just line up and live by the kings wil...but then they started to leave to ther areas of the lands where peoples were free...away from taxation...they were tired of having fed Eral. they had no more monies to give and as they started to migrate a sandy storm blew them off course...it blew them way off course...the people who stayed hoped the evil king would help and they acted like they would and that all would be solved and the rising waters would be still, but they werent. He just asked for more taxes and the poeple who left to go to areas of less taxes were chased but they ran and were back up against a giant cliff made by when the king fed Eral...it made Eral grow so large that Eral could never be filled.

But then the Knight in shining armor tried to fight Eral and stop the cliffs the king called him a Murderer and had him arrested but then a few other brave souls took up arms to figh Eral from consuming everything the people had earned...and said ...it is too big the only way to stop this is to quit feeding Eral..then he could slowly die. The cost of the cleanup of having fed Eral reserves that the people had earned would be enormous...but once Eral was completely gone the people could live free of earl and could keep the money they made...but it would require the will of the people...So...How will the story end for you?
