    note that from 1945 - 1975 when marginal tax rates were high, US growth was fantastic, and wealth distributed much evenly than the horrible inequality now.

    note also how VRWC's St Ronnie cut the tax rate on the highest while raising it on the lowest.
    OMG B- ... Once again, you believe liberal lies, hook line and sinker, and never verify the bull you regurgitate.

    I suggest you look at the tax table structure for that 1976 to 1987 timeframe. Who ever put that graph together is either in intellectual liar, or stupid head that doesn't know how the tax calculation method has changed over the years.

    Here is the referenced data your graph comes from:

    link: Federal Individual Income Tax Rates History; Nominal Dollars; Income Years 1913-2013

    Here is the example of the 1980 tax form; link: 1980 form 1040A

    If you look at page 15, you will see an added column for watch dependent, and standard deduction included in the tax table. However, where your graph shows zero percent, it is at the same 14% rate as in 1976.

    There was also that thing about the rest of the first world being in ruins after the Great Patriotic War.
    Not until 1975. , Europe was probably rebuilt in 10 years.

    The notion that Reagan was some level headed moderate who couldn't survive in the tea party is such a crock of ...

    It's all hindsight... if you look at Reagan *after* he governed, you would think he wouldn't survive a primary nowadays.

    What Reagan said and did are two very different things (not unlike most politicians).

    The reasons he raised taxes (to fund the MIC with his star wars program) are reasons the tea party would get behind , they love themselves some military spending (hence their support for Bush and Romney).

    Well, I think the teapotties would actually be much less upset if the prez wouldn't be a kenyan ni**er...

    But when you look at Reagan, that government absolutely kills the ' government too big ' and ' that debt is going to sink your grandchildren ' memes...

    by that logic the tea party also hates George W. Bush because of medicare part D and his deficit spending

    we both know they only hate deficit spending when it's convenient for them

    IIRC, I've seen dubya labeled as a RINO... which is odd, because he was from Texas, a bastion of the Southerners....

    It's also odd people would label Bush a RINO after making him a two term Republican president

    he won 2nd term with the smallest margin ever for an in bent.

    The sheeple were suckered, with coporate press compliance, with "don't change presidents while in a war". Dubya/ head's LIES and bogus Iraq war were actually part of their 2nd term campaign. Re-Elect the lying, flight-suit-faker Useful Idiot, he's A War President.

    St Ronnie doubled the national debt, dubya/ head tripled it, which is why the Repugs/VWRC campaign on the defict and debt is so totally dishonest, bogus.

    Does this make you feel better to say that? You sound like that Skull-1 guy and sbm coming with that .

    We established that you see the world cir stance as does Marx and that you support his economic policies. You just do not agree with the violent overthrow of the government. That last part is not a ' slap' although it is interesting the weird people come up with so as to prop their worldview.

    Most of our other discourses have been me trying to get you to change your approach mostly in the labels that you use to describe 3rd parties so as to get people to take you seriously. That normally gets your 'gfy' response. That isn't a slap. That is more like pouting.

    Here you sound like Sean Hannitty, Rush Limbaugh and most of the other 'conservatives' when they blame the media for their political failings. It is what it is. Saying that you slapped me isnt going to change that.

    The tea party was born in large part BECAUSE of Bush, and his late term bail-out-a-rama.

    You are revising history; getting Republicans/Neocons/Tea Partiers all mixed up with each other....

    You are inventing history.

    The tea bagger bowel movement was born after that terrorist, Muslim N!gg@ took over the WH in Jan 09. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement#History

    there are several fundamental energy sources in the tea bagger movement (basically old white Confederate guys)

    racism: against blacks (basically the Confederacy still fighting the War of Northern Aggression)

    xenophobia: against brown immigrants, and even brown citizens

    Christian intolerant supremacy: against anybody whose not Christian, anybody whose not heterosexual.

    anti-govt: again, the Confederacy still fighting the War of Northern (D.C.) Aggression.

    You are like a cartoon character, but, interestingly enough, you are just repeating what is parroted on MSNBC, daily.

    Look at the racial makeup of gerrymandered districts and get back to me.

    (and preemptively, this isn't about who does gerrymandering, both teams do, but what's the racial makeup).

    The GOP base being largely a group of old, white people shouldn't be any big revelation. It might not be politically correct to say it, but it is what it is. The tea potties happen to be the angrier of the group.

    Are you suggesting that Gore or sKerry were the lesser of evils?
