It doesn’t say “due”.
But it does show that despite a 91% top marginal rate, huge growth was still achieved.
(I’m sure these economists never considered that impact either)
And even back that when we were still able to have rich people.

The rich should pay their fair share but they shouldn't be gouged to pay for every program and service a pseudo-progressive can dream of.

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
Well, it looks like the Fed got it wrong again
They should be raising rates because they said the goal was 2% inflation…. Instead they stand pat and watch inflation raise its ugly head again
Why?
Joey Rottens election is why

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
Tariffs mean prices will going even higher
They cannot lower rates and should actually raise them
Janet is is borrowing money just to pay back the interest on the money I lent her, and when asked by Senator Kennedy, what the hell is she doing? She lies and double down on her lies. The question was why are you paying 1% more on a short term T bill….. hmm sneaky old bitch
The 35 trillion national debt is totally unpayable
It would be good to see Trump get in there and start cutting the Department of Education at the national level, but admittedly, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It won’t really solve the problem but getting rid of a few bureaucrats that create work for themselves that is totally useless is good
Joey Rotten is so vindictive and pathetic. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s acting so recklessly stupid just so the next president whoever it is, will have to deal with the market crash, Joey, if he’s even still alive, will wash his hands of any blame even though it’s all his fault.
