    @gds. To be clear, if someone in 1950 was in the top 400 and made $10million, they paid $7million in taxes? That’s your assertion? Because that’s what you’re saying.


    It’s obviously not the statutory rate as we know the statutory top rate in 1950 was 91%
    Are you going to answer the question or not @gds

    The only thing we actually know is your cute little animation is devoid of facts. The effective or statutory rates were not 70%. The highest statutory rate was 91%. The effective rate wasn’t much different than today. It was higher, but just by a few %. No one in history who made $10million in income paid $7million in taxes Go to bed. You can be done now.

    So someone who made $10 million paid $7million in taxes, if $10million was in the top 400. . That’s what your saying, right? @gds, final answer?

    At least you finally admitted it’s not the statutory rate like you previously claimed. It absolutely was the effective rate.

    Hey HondoBros, I think GDS belongs to you. Maybe take him out back and have a private conversation. This is embarrassing. @2001400ex @CirrhosisDawg

    This is from your source you linked to before. If you expand the pool to the top .1% a much larger pool their effective tax was up near 60%. By the time we further reduce that pool to the top 400 it becomes 70% as the marginal or statutory rate at that time was 91%.

    Marginal tax rate is not the effective tax rate, fuck wit.

    Why won’t you answer yes or no? 10 million in income paid 7 million in taxes. That’s what your saying when you claim a 70% effective rate. Yes or no? @gds

    Your leftist friends here are avoiding this thread like the plague. I wonder why. My guess is even they are embarrassed for you.

    I didn’t say it was. You really have that hard of a time with reading comprehension? This is really sad. For you.

    You said the effective tax rate was 70%. Which literally means 70% of all wages earned by a person are paid in taxes. So are you back tracking now and saying the effective tax rate was not 70% and your little cartoon is a lie?

    Yes or no. $10 million earned paid $7 million. Just answer the question. I doubt you will. Because it would show you are completely lost here
