There's no reason for us to not return to the tax brackets of 1960 and have people earning over 2 mil a year (adjusted) taxed at 91 percent, and 52 percent for businesses.

It's not socialism to want to return to what was proven to be a golden standard

Basically all of these arguments boil down to people wanting another war economy. If you actually understand what made the economic systems of the Nazis and the Americans work during the WWII era you'd understand that these economies function largely through force projection and expansionism. Not making any moral judgements of this, but that's just the reality of it.

>There's no reason
taxing income is immoral

>>521107993
No, it isn't. Especially not during war.

We need to force total reshoring of manufacturing and then seize stock and property assets in excess of 1 billion to prevent faggots like Musk literally buying the government. This won't happen of course.

You should simply earn more.
That's all.

But a small group off people couldn't exponentially profit in that case anymore.

I agree with you strongly but there is basically no reason. Stock payment options can bypass a return to 90% tax rates. And if you increase capital gains taxes then the goyim will be punished even harder when it comes to retirement.
Perhaps that means our economic system is just broken. Or maybe it is the currency that is broken. You can argue the topic for years without a perfect solution but that just tells me something is broken and it ought to be destroyed.
Personally, I think it is the entire economy with the focus of outsourcing and managing through the 60s to 90s leading us to little domestic full supply chain control. We are entirely reliant on other countries. The only way to fix it in our current system is lowering interest rates and giving near free loans to business to build which is coming in early 2026 but it will take years and even then the manufacturing is going to be far more automated than manufacturing of the 50s. There will not be the dream of a factory employing thousands of people. My company employed 5k at its peak in early 2000s. Our current production numbers are about 30% higher than then but we have 1k employed. And over next 5 years plans to redo entire plant layout to automate about 50% of the jobs. It is very cheap to automate things now. 2 people working day and night are about 160k in pay and benefits yearly, including 10 hours of overtime a week for 52 weeks. About 200k to automate both of them fully. That investment is worth it and likely will get cheaper in the coming years.

Nasser was robbed in '97.

Nobody paid taxes in the 60's. Stop making these dumb threads

MSN- What we win in the end will be determined not by polling numbers or viral social media memes or a mayor friendly to socialist policies, but by the balance of forces between the social movement and our opponents. This requires mounting campaigns that go far beyond the traditional political advocacy of lobbying, petitions, and testimony. Just as unionized workers win demands by threatening to disrupt business with strikes, we will have to show our opponents that there is a cost to denying working people the campaign’s central demands. That means escalating toward large and disruptive actions, enough to shake the CEOs and the political establishment into making concessions.-
Guy is really behind on the times.
Levitz- major AI labs are promising to deliver an artificial general intelligence (AGI) — which is to say, a machine that can outperform humans at all cognitive tasks — in the near future. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI is likely to wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs by 2030. Investors seem to be betting a lot of money on such outcomes. This year alone, companies are poised to sink $375 billion into AI infrastructure.-
Last gasps of we are here for you common man schtick from politicians. Rake in the money while they can. It's quickly happening that human workers are obsolete and their power to shape govt and society going with it.
Really all it's doing at this point is making the politico positioned for enrichment when new forces pay them off to shut up and become advocates for the new power.

Actually it can. Problem is nobody is seeing anything wrong with a $1T IPO.
Market forces are able to create an asset, worth enough to be in world's TOP20 economy where countries with tens of millions people reside. All that just out of a few jeets.
How is this not a scam?

Do you see it?.. This one is much harder than you think. So I'll help.. You see, if you want a new government, you come rob him for it.. It's not different from having a friend that works at a liquor store.. guy can't just let you have those beers.. but, if you wanted rob him for it.. what's he gonna do? ... get it?

We need to stop this shit. It will destroy the economy.

>>521112482
I think it's at least 15 years too late for that.

>>521112683
What the fuck are you on? Economy is dead already.

>>521112683
Indeed. And that's like eons really.

It's a good thing my mom put my entire inheritance in my college fund. I'm glad I went to college and am now 'employed' for the next month until my job ends and I am unemployed again. What a great system.
