Not that any of the Tea Party views are strictly American, but because the "movement" itself has become so incredibly toxic even to outside observers.

Hazo posted:I know ButtonJ has a lot to come back and respond to (and I really hope he does) and people have already done a pretty good job of refuting his claims so I won't pile on, but I really wanted to emphasize how much I loving hate when people disingenuously talk about Obama's "tax hikes." He let income tax cuts expire, you morons, he didn't jack up rates on his own out of some deep-seated hatred for Americans. And the rate increase only appreciably affects the very richest of Americans, so you'll see virtually no change and have nothing to bitch about unless you're making $400K+ a year. Taxes are still incredibly low historically, and are miles away from "taking half of what someone earned" as ButtonJ claimed in the last thread. gently caress. Yeah actual taxes paid for top brackets decreased over time due to job creator propaganda dropping down the rates and opening up even more cushy shelters if you have enough good accountants. Someone clever like mittens easily gets the rate down to 11 to 13 percent. This is a handy link: http://taxfoundation.org/article/us-federal-individual-income-tax-rates-history-1913-2013-nominal-and-inflation-adjusted-brackets For example in the good old 1950s going over 200,000 got you a 91% tax rate, while in the 2013 Obama Reich the tax rate for the top bracket is 39.6%. etalian fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Mar 3, 2013 |

Jet Jaguar posted:Hell, even going "back to the rates of the Reagan years" (as I've seen folks proclaim as an ideal situation) would jack the top tax bracket back up to 70%. I'd settle for the long national nightmare of peace and prosperity we had during the Clinton years where it was all the way up to 39.6% on income above $250,000. The horror. The horror. Also it's fun trolling them with Reagan quotes on how he believed in a special millionaire tax since it was more and balanced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgbJ-Fs1ikA I guess a good amount of the TPC community is creating a false simplistic view of the past that's doesn't line up with actual facts such as their taxes too high talking point.
