You mean this one? The one that states my position exactly as I just mentioned?
Why don’t you give up the straw man BS. The point I made is valid and correct.[/quote]
Valid point? I don’t know. Your final point, with the absurd claim that the average person pays over 50% in taxes isn’t valid. You were right about the rates when income taxes were initiated being between 1 and 7%, but rates haven’t steadily increased ever since. They’ve gone up and down. Top rates have been lower during the last 25 years than they were at any time in the 60 years before that. During WWII and immediately after, top rates were over 80%, and still 70% until the 80’s. I think the argument could be made those rates are confiscatory. In comparison, today’s rates arent.
So no, I don’t think your conclusion is based on accurate data, and not particularly compelling.
