No, this chart will suffice:

The top rate has been between 35 and 40 percent for the past 25 years. Trump's taking it down from 39.6% to 37%.
There have been Democrats in the past 25 years.
Next time you have power, force them to tax the hell out of the 1%, or STFU about it.

Yep, sometimes I do. I'd like to see the 1% taxed. I favor affirmative action. I'm right of center, but not by a lot. You guys just think I'm far right because you're so far to the left.

Yeah, me too, been saying that around here for some time now.

And why cant we tax the fuck out of the rich? All that takes is putting more butts in congress willing to do that.
I would say if you think the GOP will do that is bullshit.
Neither Clinton nor Obama did it. They each had both houses for 2 years.
You've been suckered by the Dems into thinking that they will tax the hell out of the 1%.

You've been mistaking me for a democrat for so many years it's become cute.
In any case...take a look at your own link again, and tell me if you notice anything about those 25 years? Dems unwillingness to tax isn't a problem I have with them..because it's not a problem -they- have. I'm more concerned about boondoggle projects, personally.

Yep, already noted it - the top tax rate is between 35 and 40% the entire time. Neither party shows any desire to tax the hell out of the 1%.

Nice of you to ignore the past century of history and cherry pick.
The tax rates POST WW2 up and until Reagan were far higher on average.
Secondly, saying democrats have had control since Reagan, is misleading and dishonest.
When you include 36 years of GOP gerrymandering, and dominance of governorships and state houses. And you combine that with the OVER ALL AVERAGE of TIME in power collectively of all three branches, legislative, executive and judicial, REPUBLICANS in that time have collectively had more time in power on average.

You don't have a left in the US, just slightly less extreme right.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Right..so you're not interested in your own link, your own info. It was just something to post and continue on living in an alternate reality. Why bother?

Why would I base my voting now on what the parties were like a hundred years ago? Of course I focus on more recent history.

Nope, I looked it up. As I said, Clinton and Obama each had 2 years of control.

Yep. Maybe if the Dems actually did something like tax the 1%, they'd have power more often.

Of course I'm interested in it. As noted, the top tax rate has been between 35 and 40% for the past 25 years, which includes two periods of complete Democrat control.
