FDR taxed the rich heavily in order to rebuild the middle class and created massive amounts of jobs in order to FIX wealth income inequality. Have 10% of the country own over 90% of the wealth is just nowhere close to ideal and its even worse today. For the first time since the Great Depression, 1% own more than they did the year before the Great Depression. It'll happen again mate. And what ya mean about the wealth not going to the rich. Where else do you think it went? Absolutely insane. And something a lot of liberal (hate labeling) need to understand is that wealthy people need to be taxed hard, not the people who fall into a high tax bracket. They should not be taxed the same in each case. Tax old money more, and new money less. Of course I hate how so many jobs require degrees, especially the tech field. I had to goto a Uni for 4 years to get my degree in computer science and the school cost WAY WAY WAY too much for how much I learned. Most I learned outside of school. But thats how it is cuz capitalism! Public schools wouldn't be straight up free unders Sanders, but it would be highly affordable. It is better for the country in the long run to have people educated so in the future the majority know what a joke these Republican candidates and Hillary Clinton are. Oh, and so they can actually compete in jobs on the international level. Trade schools are often looked down upon as a failure to get into college (prestige and all that) by many and that is sad imo. Just like bafoons saying Min. wage jobs are for high scoolers. |
The top 1% are already taxed at an absurd level (what tax rate do people actually expect everyone to pay?). There's just so many loopholes that allow them to avoid paying as much taxes because almost everything is tax deductible these days.
It's also revisionist history to claim that the infamous 90% tax rate actually taxed 90%. It was a mariginal tax rate, with an effective tax rate of around 60-70% (which almost no one paid, since the mariginal rate was set for income earned over 450k). This was done not to fix inequality (to even think so is a complete joke), but to pay for FDR's "New Deal" and help the US get out of the cost of WW2.
