Like, if you're going to take the position that Capitalism is fundamentally evil, then ok, we're at a bypass here, because I don't think that's true. But if you seriously think that you're being pretty accurate in your assessment that rich people, in the majority, get there only by being unethical in the capitalist system and by overtlytrying to harming those around them other people

you're crazy.
i changed that a little to be 'bout right
and yet not substantially less crazy
really, though
because the crazy part is attributing these things to overt and conscious diabolical mechanations
otherwise i reckon that is not a crazy thing to think at all
I think the tax rate on the richest individual brackets is way too low (lowest since 1925), but corporate taxes are another clusterfuck that needs dealt with.
In 1925 there were so many deductions available the richest individuals weren't even paying taxes in the end. You have no idea what you're talking about. Stop spitting out talking points and actually spend some time researching taxation and it's history.
It was meant to be nothing more than a reference point, not a value judgement.
It was a pointless reference as you are comparing rates of two entirely different systems of taxation. The 70-ish% rates of the past were all part of a system that was even more convoluted and considerably less progressive than it is now. That's why it has undergone periods of reform over the last 90 years. Believe it or not we have evolved from 1925. As much as the tax system sucks in this country it used to be far worse.
Where I can read more about this? The stuff I've found so far is rather basic and doesn't get past "X% in year Y and went to Z% in year B"
Not even being snarky (sorry about that), I'd like to learn more.
Say what you want, but Deacon had the best troll of all time on Evander. Epic in scope and a precision final reveal for the ages.

DeaconBlues was a hybrid troll type that would take any and all conservative view point. Some he clearly agreed with, and others to just troll the left leaning members of what he perceived as the majority of SE++ at the time.
At one point during a heated debate, back when flames were hot and shitcock was flung about openly [before the Silly Goose Initiative], Deacon stopped another very left leaning forumer named Evander with a simple argument. Evander is the large jew. Not large as in very religious, although he did discuss his faith, but large as in Evander was an enormous man mountain in a not fat but near giant in proportion.
Deacon claimed his position could not be racist because he himself was black. This stopped Evander cold. He could not continue.
At least a year later, during some other random debate, Deacon then calls out Evander for not pursuing some tangent on race because Evander thought Deacon was black. In fact Deacon was not black, but he did troll-prove his point very well that when perceived as black he couldn't be racist or was allowed to hold certain viewpoint without having a race card infraction. The reveal was staggering and knocked Evander out for the count. A year + troll and then BAM!
Well executed. DeaconBlues, no matter what differences we may have had, will always hold the title of greatest troll and reveal.

Definitely. Evander stands out because he was target zero, but Deacon conned so many people. It truly was a masterstroke.
