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

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  

wut

2019-01-15 18:26:44 UTC  

I said the article was bs

2019-01-15 18:27:03 UTC  

and Obama lies

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.

`I said the article was bs`

2019-01-15 18:29:00 UTC  

**”According to the Laffer curve, tax cuts only do that when the rates were above 50 percent. It worked during the Reagan administration because the highest tax rate was 90 percent.”**

That’s wrong, the Laffer curve doesn’t have a defined point.

Marginal tax rates for the highest under Reagan were 70% before he cut them. Secondly inflation adjusted tax rates were around 20%. America had NEVER had a tax rate as high as 90%. Inflation adjusted the highest is 70% and the effective tax rate as the highest is 45%. Which is the highest it’s ever been for the top tax rate.(edited)
**”In addition, military spending must also be cut. Obama spent $770 billion in FY 2017. Instead of cutting, Trump added $40 billion. In FY 2019, he asked for an additional $20 billion, taking total military spending to $886 billion. “**

Why military spending, not social security or Medicare which takes up more of the budget? Unlike under Obama, Trump wants the military at tip top shape
In other words the article is complete propaganda and lies

2019-01-15 18:29:05 UTC  

This is why

2019-01-15 18:29:07 UTC  

I said the article was bs

2019-01-15 18:29:58 UTC  

Hence why I said that you will dismiss anything that disagrees with your worldview as fake news.

2019-01-15 18:30:04 UTC  

Dude I explain why

2019-01-15 18:30:07 UTC  

just read it

2019-01-15 18:31:57 UTC  

I did

2019-01-15 18:32:03 UTC  

Alright

2019-01-15 18:32:04 UTC  

thats why

2019-01-15 18:32:12 UTC  

I wrote something above it aswell about the Obama's debt article

2019-01-15 18:32:19 UTC  

I'm aware

2019-01-15 18:32:28 UTC  

thats why

2019-01-15 18:32:33 UTC  

I didn't yell fake news

2019-01-15 18:32:45 UTC
