[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1081279, member: 43436"] LOL, you DO realize that the "America of WWII" taxed its citizens, on average, 50% -- and as much as 94% for top earners? Historically, tax rates were high until Reagan took office -- which is also when the deficit began ballooning. The "America of WWII" died in the early 1980s, when the socialist-leaning South began voting Republican because of their conservative social beliefs, and right-wing legislature began green-lighting companies to turn bigger profits at worker's expense (e.g. decreased regulation, offshore manufacturing, etc.). Most of these people who "do nothing," BTW, work full-time at places like Walmart. Unfortunately, jobs that use to pay living wages -- until the right-wingers took control -- now pay $10/hour - often with no benefits. At least the Waltons are rich! Keep voting for the right-wingers, though. When FedEx's ISP model (struck-down by the left, approved by the right) and other competition forces UPS -- and its high labor costs -- into bankruptcy, and UPS picks NY-friendly right-wing bankruptcy courts to throw out union contracts, pensions, H&W obligations... well, keep telling me how much the right's on your side.
