to funny talking about the clintons


but In the US, it takes slightly over one working day for a CEO to earn what an ordinary worker makes in a year.

and as on Cue Conservatives running to defend Corporations



Corporations have done to the american worker and the middle class

What the Airlines have done to Travel .

Smaller seats, charges for baggage , fees to book your seats ,fees for more leg room so on and so forth and our fellow Conservatives are using the classic argument the fear of socialist but have no fear of a Plutocracy or oligarchy

yet these same people who fear socialist Also see no danger in Trumps actions towards the CIA the FBI or the courts or his use of executive power ... you can't make these things up

I certainly am not defending corporations, I hope you weren't referring to me. I pointed out the math, which shows clearly that while CEO pay is excessive, it's of no consequence to the rest of us. You can't make that wrong, by wishing it so.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device some of the biggest economic expansion we've ever had was when the tax rate was 70%. were we a socialist country when we had a 70% tax rate?

no one paid those rates, there were all kinds of ways around it. those were published rates, they weren’t the practical, effective rates. and again, that was after WWIi and we were the worlds
manufacturer. we aren’t anymore, and the shift has been brutal for the
middle class. it has very little to do with the wealthy, and everything to do with globalization. can’t fight that with tax rates on the rich.

No one paid those rates because they reinvested the money back into the economy. Holy crap this isn’t rocket science.

Partly, and partly because of loopholes and deductions. So we have no idea what the impact would be, of implementing actual effective rates that high.

You're right it's not rocket science, it's elementary school arithmetic, which you have to abandon to be a liberal. Especially in CT.
