To: mo
the marginal tax rate by 1936 was close to 70 something percent...

And it exceeded 90% after WWII. And?

a tax can and does provoke gradual wealth re-distibution.

We already understand that you're a socialist. Where are you going with this?

"We already understand that you're a socialist. Where are you going with this"....this issue is the explanation of why and where we are with Mexico today. Your opinion of me does'nt get any of us closer to that. Usually on FR the ad hominem attack is regarded as pretty.....liberal

Umm, I believe mo was simply stating a fact, not suggesting that it be carried out. Our wealth is being redistributed through taxes even now, and the wealthy elite in Mexico are taking advantage of that fact rather than address it among themselves.

Another wonderful method of redistribution of wealth is commerce - honest trade - value for value. Alas, Mexico hasn't figured that one out yet in the midst of their corruption.
