burchey Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 My friend and I used to go around and around on such issues - he feels that food, healthcare, housing, and education (including undergrad and grad school) should be free and provided by the government.  en outre, il est canadien-français.

rob Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Its not misleading. The top bracket used to be way higher. Period. How many brackets there used to be is neither here nor there, the top bracket is the top bracket. The cartoon doesn't make any claims about how big that bracket was. Â 50 years ago, the richest of the rich would have paid much more tax than now. There's no point dancing around that fact, its the truth. The extreme rich ate paying fewer taxes than ever. Nothing misleading about that, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'd be much more in favor of adding more brackets for higher income folks with higher rates than raising the current highest rate to match "historic [sic] levels". But, hey, let's just avoid any common ground! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm fine with more brackets, too, if that means the extreme wealthy start paying what they paid historically. Think the GOP would allow that? Smirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if that's what you want, I bet you'd have more chance getting it under the Mitt-ster (and he'd probably cave in that way when push comes to shove) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
