Seems like a concept with built in failure the cause for success.

anyways the grammer is irrelevant to the topic. Who remembers the roaring 50's, and 60's? a time of massive expansion, and while I might buy the claim that the 50's was the result of everyone being bombed during the WW2, it doesn't explain the 60's or even the 70's.

You know, when tax rates for the rich were double of todays rates....

Got it! Just can't change the title so you will have to keep looking at it.

You have no idea who you are referring to. You never will as they are ambiguous; they are as silent partners.

As far as redisributing all of the wealth of this nation....after you take it away and hand it all out, who pays taxes to the federal government? You already raided the vaults of those who pay taxes, what now?
Tax the wealthy?

You people are idiots.

How can we argue with intellect so grand as to resort to insults?

If taxes on the wealthy are increased, there is more government revenue. I didn't think that concept was so difficult to grasp.

you do know, we dont tax wealth federally for that vast majority of cases right? That we tax income....so if all the wealth was redistributed as income....the taxes for that year would be mind boggling.
But really thats just a thought experiment as theres not enough cash to pay for all the wealth. LOL. and at 712K income per person they'de be in the top bracket I think.

Anyways redistributing all the wealth is a insane idea. theres a healthy level of inequality that makes our economic system work extremely well, unfortunately we are way beyond healthy levels of inequality.

Money is made up. It only has intrinsic value by law. There are more things to life than money. Heck, greed and gluttony are sins, yet the holier than thou Republicans endorse greed to the fullest. Hypocrisy.
Actually it is Democrats cRying about the wealth disparity

Isn't that where they just print more money ? The government never runs out of money. If they did there would be no deficit. They spend money they don't have. Money is made out of nothing. When Joe Blow gets his check and spends it all he knows he's broke. He can't make it out of nothing. His investment in magic class was a waste.
