6. It was at the start. The comic shows the rates when they were the lowest. n/t

[unblock]

12. the top rate was 28% only during his last year in office.

[liberal N proud]

5. I don't know anyone who will ever be in that tax bracket

So I don't understand all those who will never pay those taxes continue to defend those who do.

[unblock]

13. soo many idiots want to defend low taxes on the rich because they fantasize about being rich someday

not only are these people without a plan for becoming uber-rich (other than powerball) but it never occurs to them that they're far better off arguing for better tax rates and programs for THEMSELVES, NOW, and *if* at some point, they become uber-rich, they can *THEN* argue for self-serving tax cuts for the rich.


in any event it's amazing how riled up people can get arguing about a 6% swing in top marginal tax rates. as if that really makes any material difference to ANYONE.

9. Back in the days of LBJ and Nixon,

a non-college educated Middle Class Blue Collar parent could:

*maintain a secure job with benefits

*raise and support a family in security and comfort

*buy a new American made car every couple of years

*buy and pay off a comfortable home in the suburbs

*provide GOOD health and dental care to his family

*take a real family vacation every year

*send his children to a State University where they could graduate debt free

*save enough to retire in dignity and comfort

ALL of the above would be possible today
IF we had a Political Party that represented Americans who Work for a Living.



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
