We used to tax top brackets 90%
40's and 50's
Fine. But we are not billionaires.
You should give me your money
And that was the most prosperous time in our history
It was a utopia compared to now
Read Gospel of Wealth
Carnegie argued against wasteful use of capital in the form of extravagance, irresponsible spending, or self-indulgence, instead promoting the administration of said capital over the course of one's lifetime toward the cause of reducing the stratification between the rich and poor.
The wealthy were actually cool back then
they gave back
I prefer this
bolstered the economy
We would pay a 56% rate
Top tax bracket pays 90%
the trouble started with A) Formation of the Federal Reserve B) The finance sector being more profitable than manufacturing and C) abolishment of the gold standard
It’s funny how these corporate tax loopholes can be so easily eliminated and closed by a simple executive order or legislation, yet they refuse to do so because they’re ruled by it.
Gold Standard I'm not sold on
but you can say the issue goes back as far as the concept of the Corporation itself
It limits the Economy to the amount of gold
Silver Standard would be better than gold standard
labour notes?
@21ooAB The majority of those rich are not altruistic, and this shouldn't keep their status
If you follow Gospel of Wealth, then you may kepe your status
Gospel Of Wealth says the rich should use their wealth to benefit the poor and to fix wealth inequality
Written by Carnegie
the only aristocracy should be the builders and defenders of the nation and truth
the rich are encouraged to grow their money by abusing usury (tax loopholes, interest, playing the market, etc) instead of through industry and manufacturing like in the days of Carnegie
Although Carnegie and others did you a lot of questionable things
