OK, I am registering to be a Democrat, watching CNN and CNBC, going to get rid of my fossil fuel cars. No more meat because that comes from animals that fart which can help global warming. Get on the twitter hate towards Trump and read articles about being happy, be open minded and give all my money to the least fortunate. Love Mexicans and put them up at my house while they wait to be accepted in the US. Give more thought at railroad crossings, and last but not least put agree or like buttons on Toad's posts because he feels slighted.
Toad won the essay question debate this morning but we will have to redact any plagiarism he might have used and that might use up all my Sharpie ink.

You should think about becoming a sign designer. Your use and obvious skill of sign elements is astonishing. Incredible insight to the needs of many.

The New Deal was a socialist economic stimulus package. Without it, we wouldn't have been prepared to help during WWII and certainly would not have been in a position to prosper after WWII.

How did the great recession occur? How did every recession occur? Who started WWI and WWII and almost WWII? If a group of people go around burning down everyone's homes and then the same people come up a "solution" to the problem, are they heroes? You have much to learn. History is your friend.

WTF??? Did we really have a 94% tax rate in 1945? That can't be right.

We did but only on a class of people making what would be in today's dollars millions a day. It also led to the generation of the un-tied corporate entity and the ability reclassify income.

Well, not "millions a day" It was for people over 200k which today would be 2.8 million. Good chunk of change... and even more so back then. Interesting though

But the target was for the corporate entities like Chase, Boeing, etc who were capitalizing on the war efforts. It was also a turning point in which "CEOs" could disassociate themselves from all the profits by reclassifying incomes similar to today's tax system.

Seems a flat tax would solve a lot of the mess that goes on today.

I couldn't agree more... But alas people on both sides would complain that their 10% is worth more than someone elses 10%.

I think with the flat tax it should scale up through 200% of the poverty threshold and then cap with no deductions. For the Corporate tax rate it should be a scaled tax with no deductions, scaled based on net income tiers and those funds can't be taxed twice once passed through to personal income through capital gains.

Yea I agree with the 200% of poverty. I've been in favor of a fair tax since first hearing about it and that is one of the main reasons I'd align more towards the libertarian side. You'd think Democrats, the party that wants everyone to pay their "fair share" would pick up on this and run with it but I don't see any of them doing that. o_O

Im no economist so I don't know with all of our spending and social programs if it could work. I'm also not for doing away with medicare or social security as those were both designed to be solvent and is a small portion of the deductions.

For the Corporate tax, the hardest part would be standardizing accounting for transparency. This would kill the Futures and Hedge stock market and create a socialized oversight which would probably make it DOA.
