My favorite stupid tax was the Undistributed Profits Tax (UPT) of 1936. FDR was peeved at the ‘greedy’ corporations for hoarding profits and not investing. The reason investment ground to a halt was because of sky-high taxes and the fact that FDR had terrorized American business so badly they gave up.
The UPT was such a disaster that it was repealed in 1939.
LOL. You didn’t “hear” anything, of course. And if you read what I actually wrote, you would see both that revenue neutrality is not enough ... meaning that I explicitly said FEWER taxes ... and that other concessions would be necessary as well.
In writing what you’ve written, you help to make my case ... that those who post on this site reflexively shout out that everyone and everything is evil.
Truly, I am not the enemy of conservative values. I simply want the good guys to put forward an affirmative case for their positions. Our side can’t govern if our leaders don’t have a concrete agenda.
