GOP. Rep Keith Self quotes Goebbels

@Thinkerbell Those are certainly a lot of words.

So yeah, like I said, the rich used to pay a lot more in taxes, even with the loopholes. So we should raise their taxes to how it was in the fifties, which was my original take.

@BohemianBabe

I invite anyone who may be interested to go back about 20 comments to see what your "original take" was, and how it changed in the course of the discussion.

The only "original take" in which you have been consistent is your false claim that it was Republicans who lowered those 50s tax rates.

But of course you (as usual) have dodged that point. Boo-Boo. 🤣

@Thinkerbell


It was mostly Republicans, as it was over the course of decades. Well into the Bush years, they were still lowering taxes for the rich. And some of the biggest cuts were under Reagan.

But see, this is what you can't understand, because you're in a cult, and think everyone else is too. I don't stan the Democrats. There are plenty of conservative Democrats, especially at the local level, who also pass right-wing bills. Gavin Newsom and Eric Adams are only the most visible examples. The fact that some Democrats also lowered taxes for the rich isn't a gotcha. If anything, it confirms another point I've made, that the Right has pulled the Overton Window further and further Right. This is yet another problem of Capitalism.
