Liberals: I still don't understand how higher taxes will fix the economy. Can you explain it to me?

YOU, m'dear, are a LIAR. And I will PROVE it with FACTS, of you dare to read further... I remember my parents telling me that my father had "promised" to his future father-in-law (when he asked for Mom's hand in marriage) that he was going to earn an annual salary of $10,000. That was in 1951, and my grandfather LAUGHED at him in total disbelief.

The average annual HOUSEHOLD (as opposed to PERSONAL) income in 1950 in the USA was... are you ready for this... $1,500! (see PDF file below). Your question, however, is extremely self-serving and misleading.

Why? Because if you actually LOOK at the Federal Income tax TABLE for 1950 (see second link below), the ACTUAL TAX RATE for those earning the AVERAGE annual income of $1,500 was only 17.4%... NOT 90%. Oh, and the top rate in 1950 was 84%, not 90%.

But in order to be taxed at 84%, you would have to be earning an annual income of over $400,000. Now... even THESE DAYS, that is not anywhere NEAR an AVERAGE annual income! So, let's STOP PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE with the FACTS, shall we?

The vast majority of the population paid only about 17% income tax during the 1950's. That sounds mightly REASONABLE to anyone, and most people today would be GRATEFUL to pay ONLY 17% income tax. Just to make comparisons a bit more "modern"... 1999 average annual income was $28,500, and that would put a person in the 28% tax bracket.... that's an effective increase of 64% more in taxes than in 1950 for the AVERAGE American.

My advice to you.... STOP believing liberal HYPE and start READING the ACTUAL HISTORY! 1. REPEAL the 16th Amendment!

2. DISBAND The FED! 3.

And to answer you question, because nobody actually paid 90% and the tax rate is not the only factor in an economy.

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.
