Why do high earners have higher income tax rates than the rest, why not have a flat income tax rate for all?

We are already taxed to death. This is why people are losing their homes, genious. They can't afford to live anymore.

By the way, whatever worked in the 1980s is irrelevant when it comes to modern politics. Things are much worse now than they were back then.

Firstly, we have to remember that morality is more important than utility; high taxes are immoral and counter-individualist and thus counter-liberty. However, you're also quite wrong about the economy, too. If you look at the Depression of 1920 (I believe), it was only after the government reduced its scope and size that the Depression rebounded very quickly.

The Great Depression of the 30's was made much longer than it had to have been by the stupid federal government policies.

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.
