  • That’s the primary reason yes.

    We don’t tax corps. We used to. Taxed them 70-95% I can’t remember the actual number.

    But that’s what built the industrial powerhouse that won the cold war. Those high taxes could only be written off by reinvesting into the business. Hiring more people. Raising wages. Buying new equipment. Those high tax rates are what made it all work.

    Without those you get Gilded ages like what both proceeded and have followed them. Because capitalism eats itself without a strong government hand at the tiller. Protecting it from itself.



  • Anyone else remember when the math came back and universal Healthcare would have saved the US like $11,000,000,000 every year or every 10 years or something.

    Anyway, they chose not to do that because Citizens United made bribery legal. They did pass a republican Healthcare plan that didn’t actually change anything. Just made it easier to pick who was gonna fuck you and how hard on a convenient website maintained by GovCo.
