@Guilds

Raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations. That will put the brakes on these companies and their leaders and the greed that dominates our economy.

No it won’t. It never has.

Feefees…

The corporate tax rate was above 40% for for 35 years. Above 50% for 15 of those years.

Did that stifle growth?

We had a top tax bracket above 70% for 30ish years and above 90% for some of those years…

Did that make people leave the US? Stifle personal wealth?

So I can put tou down as supporting a personal social credit score.

Got it

So, I can put you down for unfettered capitalism, where corporations are welcome to make as much as they can, no matter how it affects humans, wildlife, and the planet. Also, they should continue to own our legislative process, so they can continue to pass laws that benefit them, and their executives.

Got it.

They ARE NOT mutually exclusive.

How does this ESG score affect the average person directly? Or is it just indirectly?

If a conservative sends donations to a conservative cause, or spends money on guns, ammo, or other things the left doesn’t like, they will have their credit score lowered, or have their bank account closed, or not be allowed to open one.

No control freaking there, huh?

[JayJay]

“They”?

How will “they” do this?

[JayJay]

Nope.

It’s for parents to decide what their kids can handle.

[JayJay]

Are you saying you have an inherent right to other people’s money?

Be sure to let us know if that ever happens.

Evidence of these claims?

@Ceasar

Yes, & yes.

Indeed…from 1950-1979, living in America was an economic nightmare…high unemployment, low wages, no room to grow…

That’s just ridiculous.

@Smyrna

Do you buy anything from Amazon? If so, you helped create a billionaire that you appear to have disdain for. Do you check labels and attempt to not buy products made in China? If not, you are helping trash the planet…literally.

@Guilds

You do not get it.

I get it just fine that I exposed your hyprocrisy.

[WuWei]

Did it put the brakes on greed?

[WuWei]

@JayJay

Nope.

It’s for parents to decide what their kids can handle.

In a school library? How do the parents decide what goes in a school library?

[WuWei]

'79-'81 or so wasn’t peachy.

[GWH]

The libraries should be filled with what this kid’s reading.

[WuWei]

Kid has potential.

Nobody paid those rates, the effective tax rate is pretty much the same today as it was then, they had more deductions back then.
