Apparently, Warren Buffett didn't notice this amazing fact when he claimed to pay a lower percentage of his income than his secretary.
Buffet did not have to pay a lower tax rate. He could have opted out of deductions and write offs. It just shows when you are a billionaire you have better accountants than your secretary does.
Bunk. That is not all they receive. Maybe the single payment from SSI or SSDI, but there are tons more bennies
Baloney. There are not "tons more "bennies"" for people who are born disabled. It takes years to get public housing. You try to live on $700 a month in SSI and see how great it is to live on welfare. Do you think you would enjoy it?
Yes we had a post depression boom. And the influx of vets coming back and creating the baby boomer generation.
Its a left wing fallacy that taxes were higher in the 1950's and that somehow created growth. Average marginal tax rates, federal, state and income / payroll taxes have been climbing and are much higher now then they were during those decades:
Effective marginal taxes were much higher. Unions were much, much stronger. The government was far more involved in the economy, a much more regulated economy. And you of course have to ignore all of this to fit it into your narrative presented by the oligarchy, represented by AEI.
1969 was 40 years after the depression started. You are living in fantasy land, just like other libertarians. Having to rewrite history in order to fit it into the debunked and crazy ideology called libertarianism. An ideology for the ruling oligarchy, funded by the oligarchy and sadly swallowed hook, line and sinker by certain members of the working class.
Personally, I have never really had the urge to swap my white collar job and nice house for living in a crime zone and buying groceries with food stamps. Funny enough, I have never felt like a slave, despite being in a tax bracket that has to give substantially more than it takes....
If confiscation of 100% of the fruits of your labor at gunpoint is slavery at what % is it no longer slavery and who decides said %?

No.
First, unions will never ever be the same. It is a different world. You have to wipe out your union fantasy world. China, Mexico etc got rid of union influence. Don't like it tell the Clinton's.
The oligarchy is the Democrats and Republicans. They control everything including you.
