From 1940s-1980, the wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax rates. Zero of them went broke from taxation. Zero of them left the USA. All remained exceedingly wealthy, manufacturing boomed, AND we had the strongest middle class growth in US History.

Let's do that again. #TaxTheRich

@QasimRashid That was before the Republicans got together with the 1% and tilted things way in their favor. Now they’ve almost guaranteed it that we can’t reverse things since they’ve controlled the right of so many to vote against them and gerrymandered districts to stay in power.
We’re screwed.
Is there a chance? Maybe, but it won’t be easy.

Conservatism used to be something that you could sit down and debate with. Now, the right just follows the money of millionaires no matter what.

It's stupid. I debate with capitalists, and they do nothing but bash commies and spew falsehoods. I hate it.

Don't get me wrong, capitalism has done a few good things, but now the bad is exceeding that and showing more than ever.
