Liberals: I still don't understand how higher taxes on the rich will help the 8.3% unemployment. How?

Even then, the wealthy sheltered much of their income. Few had income over the limit where they would pay 92% of each additional dollar earned. Most of their income was in capital gains as it is today.

Although the capital gains tax rate was much higher than today, it was nowhere near 92%. What I read into you question however is another: Is there a correlation between increasing the taxes for the rich. And increased unemployment as the Republicans claim?

Obviously, no.

Because in 1950, anyone and everyone could get a job, simply because they walked in and said, "I need a job." Today, few people will get a job, even if they qualify for the job they are applying for. That's because employers refuse to hire people, claiming lack of experience.

That's why unemployment was so much lower in the 1950s than it is now. But the tax part was the same then as it is now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
