People found all sorts of loopholes to not pay that. Nobody paid that much taxes.
they didn’t move away.
lots of people paid that much in taxes (you have to look up how marginal rates work they don’t just lose 90% of their wealth each year) and we built huge libraries and free public pools and public schools had art classes and gym classes with teachers and supplies. Hospitals had EXTRA nurses and ambulances were well staffed.
Don’t fall for the lies of the rich. We were WAY BETTER OFF financially as a society when they were paying their fair share. They need to be taxed again so we can go back to building public services for people again.
So lemmy is just as stupidly socialist communist as reddit… got it…
you may be surprised to find the social site built on principles of open-ness and cooperation is actually even MORE left leaning than the reddit populace, politically, socially, all of it.
it’s been real nice, hope it stays that way.
Do you have any evidence for that claim, or are you just stating it with certainty because it feels right to you?
Nobody paid 90% of their total income because that’s not how tax brackets work.
