No. You seem to want one person calling the shots. That's how Trump operates. That's not TDS on my part. That's being Anti-American on your part.

This will all be fine. Nothing bad would come of it. I mean hell, at one point in the 50's, the tax rate for the top earners was 98%! It worked back then, there's absolutely no reason to think it wouldn't work now. Because the world economy is exactly the same! 1 hour ago, ExiledInIllinois said: https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c3154e9e4b0733528336e49 "But what does Ocasio-Cortez know about tax policy? “A lot,” said the headline of an opinion piece Saturday in The New York Times by Nobel economics laureate Paul Krugman.

3rdnlng Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 The old federal tax rates that began to be fixed by JFK and further fixed by Reagan were tempered in a huge way by a bunch of tax write-offs. The middle class didn't have high tax rates but the very wealthy had tax rates of up to 90%. They found a way around these rates by buying into income losing schemes that enabled them to reduce their income (on paper) to get their tax rates down. Comparing 1950's tax rates with today's tax rates is like comparing an Edsel to an I-Phone.

A number of farms for quite a number of years until they changed the tax laws were run at a loss but gained expensive assets along the way in buildings and equipment. Improvements were made to land including contouring and drainage that could be depreciated and the net result was the increase of land value. Edited January 6, 2019 by RochesterRob
