A top tax rate of 90% has never existed

2019-01-15 14:20:51 UTC  

yeah

2019-01-15 14:21:00 UTC  

i'm not even american

2019-01-15 14:21:09 UTC  

Inflation adjusted the top rate was 70%

2019-01-15 14:21:16 UTC  

And that rate in effective terms was 45%

2019-01-15 14:21:25 UTC  

So the highest income tax for the top rate ever has been 45%

2019-01-15 14:24:11 UTC  

So yeah a tax increase to 70% or even 55% would cause huge problems

In 1944-45, “the most progressive tax years in U.S. history,” the 94% rate applied to any income above $200,000 ($2.4 million in 2009 dollars, given inflation). In World War Two, tax law revisions increased the numbers of “those paying some income taxes” from 7% of the U.S. population (1940) to 64% by 1944.

@Leo (BillNyeLand) the effective tax rate ever however was 45%

2019-01-15 16:51:02 UTC  

It doesn’t matter what tax rate it was in that time. What matters how much tax was payed

2019-01-15 16:51:14 UTC  

With an effective tax rate of 45% that seems not even close to 90%

2019-01-15 16:51:34 UTC  

We can’t look at it in face value, this happens in countries like Denmark etc

2019-01-15 16:51:41 UTC  

The effective tax rate is much lower,

2019-01-15 16:51:49 UTC  

There are so many ways to avoid taxes and it was the case back then in USA

2019-01-15 17:37:47 UTC  

Then shouldn’t the effective tax rate for a 70% marginal rate should be much lower than the effective tax rate for a 90% marginal rate

2019-01-15 17:43:58 UTC  

@Leo (BillNyeLand) Yeah I'm just saying

2019-01-15 18:15:52 UTC  

@BaneOfThots scroll up

2019-01-15 18:26:04 UTC  

What do you want me to say? Literally nothing that I say will get you to change your mind that Trump is basically a God.

2019-01-15 18:26:41 UTC

2019-01-15 18:26:44 UTC  

I said the article was bs

2019-01-15 18:27:33 UTC  

As I said in the other chat. You will dismiss anything that disagrees with your worldview as fake news.

2019-01-15 18:27:48 UTC  

dude

2019-01-15 18:27:53 UTC  

where did I mention fake news

2019-01-15 18:28:33 UTC  

Well I read the article about the Trump debt and I was shocked in the first paragraph, so let’s begin .

**”to 3.5 percent to 4 percent. These projections are above the 2-3 percent healthy growth rate. When growth is more than that, it creates inflation. Too much money chases too few good business projects. Irrational exuberance grips investors. They create a boom-bust cycle that ends in a recession. Trump’s Fiscal Year 2019 budget lowered annual growth rates down to between 2.4 percent and 2.9 percent annually.”**

What a load of horseshit. Growing an economy fast DOES NOT cause inflation. This was seen in Reagan’s economic growths of 7% where inflation was very low compared to the double digits it was in when he entered office( with low growth). What causes inflation is the regulations and taxation’s that pull up costs and then prices. What else causes inflation is the expansion of the money supply.

What it wrote about the boom and bust cycle was garbage. Boom and bust cycles are artificially created by the federal reserve which is central bank that manipulates interest rates by artificially lowering them to “boost growth”.Credit and monetary expansion leads to malinvestments in a boom which is inflationary and a bubble. After a while these investments seem unprofitable and are dropped and a bust occurs. The bust is necessary as the all the malinvestments that took place need to be liquidated.

**”Jobs Act. It cuts the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent beginning in 2018. The top individual income tax rate drops to 37 percent. It doubles the standard deduction, and eliminates personal exemptions. The corporate cuts are permanent, while the individual changes expire at the end of 2025. But it won't stimulate the economy enough to make up for lost tax revenue.”**

That’s odd because Trump is reaching 3% annual growth this year and tax revenues have went up since the tax cuts.
