Caesar Posted April 13, 2010 #26 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Since they had 8 years of tax rates that were out of historical norms where they did NOT pay their fair share, this should come as no surprise to those rich. So what the fair share 75%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted April 14, 2010 #28 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Don't conservatives want to go back to fifties? How about the 1850's when there was no IRS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadude Posted April 15, 2010 #29 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) How about the 1850's when there was no IRS? how would you pay for your precious military spending? It never ceases to amaze me how people want to live in the past. Edited April 15, 2010 by ninjadude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjadude Posted April 15, 2010 #31 Share Posted April 15, 2010 sorry but i thought we had a military in 1850 so you think the 1850 military would be of ANY use in the modern world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about tax rates and our spending defence as a % of GDP hasn't changed much. Source Edited April 15, 2010 by Caesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadude Posted April 16, 2010 #33 Share Posted April 16, 2010 We are talking about tax rates and our spending defence as a % of GDP hasn't changed much. Since our GDP is astronomical compared to 1850, there would be almost zero money to pay for the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B. Posted April 16, 2010 #34 Share Posted April 16, 2010 GDP's what we make, not what we owe. Why wouldn't we have money for the military, even at that level of pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadude Posted April 16, 2010 #35 Share Posted April 16, 2010 GDP's what we make, not what we owe. Why wouldn't we have money for the military, even at that level of pay? because the modern military costs an astronomical amount. He wants an 1850's military.
