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.

>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

A Labour Movement person with balls

That's one town though
