OT- ‘Since when does our great free-market country punish success’…

[Anonymous]

Here’s what happens in the real world, because I see this all the time in my business, which is in the construction field. All the so-called “productive workers” as you call them decide that they want a bigger piece of pie since they see what the owner is making compared to themselves.

So they decide to start their own business but fail to see all the costs involved and never realize they don’t know how to sell, market, promote or handle all the intricacies of running a business, not do they have the money to purchase capital equipment. Soon, usually within 4 – 6 months they are employees again.

As with most people, they have neither the skills nor ability to move up from their “productive” position into ownership. Instead they decide to band together and extort from the companies and organizations what they cannot earn according to their own abilities. You obviously think that’s okay. If you can’t make it why not take it.

Crime is easier than calculus.

Actually several thousand years ago when someone figured out that they could take what they wanted by force. Although I agree with you that the world has survived. I guess we can conclude that taxes = survival from that astute observation.

The world has survived since rape and murder was invented as well.

When you finish reading the Constitution expand your list to the Federalist Papers, Common Sense and The Declaration of independence. I think you’ll find a common theme.

SK: When tax rates change it takes a while for the actors in the economy to change their behavior, then the hiring, investing, building etc. to increase or decrease, then output and incomes to change, then the tax revenues approaching the following year’s tax deadline of April 15 to change. These time lags are why it is difficult to ascribe a change in government revenues to an earlier change in the tax rate. And that’s why I gave you the six-year result after the tax rates were changed under Kennedy and then Reagan.
