wish i had access to similar maps for other white countries

@Tero

Basically everything to the left of your graph. I'd also note that most of the Democrats *in* your graph were significantly to the right of the current GOP.

were they really though?

that was a good one

Oh hell yeah you don't really need to go that far back. Like JFK drastically reduced taxes, halted commies so much he risked a nuclear exchange, and wanted to introduce a competing silver currency. I don't know anyone in modern politics that would take such a hard line on those issues.

2019-04-23 17:45:43 UTC  

Err, *hated* commies. Bloody auto-complete.

2019-04-23 17:46:55 UTC  

the top federal tax rate in 63 was 91%

2019-04-23 17:48:05 UTC  

is there a republican candiate atm that would support a top tax rate of 91%?

2019-04-23 17:50:20 UTC  

I'm amazed Yasmin hasn't been given a length of rope already... must be that her neo-Marxism suits the establishment just fine.
Or as she should be known - Yasmin "I want to see the end of white people" Alibhai-Brown

Brendan himself is Trotsky and he's the right-wing edgy boi

he's also rich and posh πŸ˜„

There are no working class people at Sky News... well, apart from the cleaners

2019-04-23 18:02:02 UTC  

I bet the cleaners end up getting worse than minimum wage - get them to do 6 hours work, but tell them they should've managed to do it in 4 hours, so get docked 2 hours wages... at least that's a very typical ploy of cleaning agencies these days

@Tero

Yeah it was reduced by the tax act put in by Kennedy and passed in '64.

2019-04-23 18:07:48 UTC  

reduced down to 77% then 70%

2019-04-23 18:07:55 UTC  

very low rates

2019-04-23 18:16:20 UTC  

Yeah 20% is a decent drop. Do you mean it's not perfect? Ok but it's a large decrease. Better because revenue went up it served as a proof of Laffer that created an argument for future reductions.

2019-04-23 18:17:15 UTC  

I mean "cut taxes and kill commies" works for me. Not gonna lie it gives me a freedom boner.

2019-04-23 18:18:18 UTC  

even though 70% is the kind of tax rate present day americans laugh at scandinavian countries for having to pay

2019-04-23 18:25:26 UTC  

Rather that you got to keep three times as much as the previous rate. It's not like the president can just get anything they want mate. It's a larger tax cut than any other president pulled off since. You seem to be upset that the man was not magic. Well no. We will not get a magic president.

Today I was told that coop's and credit unions are examples of socialism in action. SMH... By that logic publicly traded companies are socialism too

2019-04-23 18:29:56 UTC  

Wait.i think Reagan might have. So like Kennedy and Reagan are the presidents that accomplished large reductions in tax rates.

2019-04-23 18:32:16 UTC  

>By that logic publicly traded companies are socialism too
how does this comparison hold..?

2019-04-23 18:34:13 UTC  

A credit union proportionally pays out dividends. As does a publicly traded corporation.

2019-04-23 18:37:11 UTC  

a co-op might do the same

2019-04-23 18:37:29 UTC  

obviously the speaker doesn't consider dividends as antithetical to socialism

2019-04-23 18:38:16 UTC  

Indeed, all of the above are various forms of capitalism.

2019-04-23 18:45:22 UTC  

no i think the socialist would disagree, in that in the co-op and the credit union, there is no capitalist investing his capital in an enterprise for the extraction of (unearned) profits from the work of its employees

2019-04-23 18:47:48 UTC  

admittedly i'm no socialist, but i think that's probably along the lines of their dispute of the similarity
