Ron Paul said the same thing. He's hardly a socialist. Corporatism is pretty much like fascism. And contrary to what the Left believes, a "fascist" isn't a pejorative used to describe anyone who is more conservative than yourself. Rather, it's a nightmarish combo of big gov't and big business working together.
Don't trouble yourself with numbers, FT. Ideologues are all about faith, beliefs and feelings. They can't work numbers into their sermons.
Go back to arguing with yourself on Surf's thread or following Charlie Sheen's tweets. Or just go take your meds--I'm sure they're paid for with OPM. Sheesh, the post whore-trolls and riff raff are REALLY OUT today.
This from someone who asserts that anyone disagreeing with his Far Right world view doesn't make any money. Yes, do tell me all about trolling.
even pets (dogs, cats, rats, cobra, tigers, cheetahs, pigs, horse, cows, cattles, ants, crickets, worm, flys, etc etc) do not pay taxes.
This stuff may impress the simple-minded, but there's much more to this than trying to show a trend. There are countless other variables and changes over the years. Did you take them into account? Also, you have to look at many other angles, including this one: http://plaza.ufl.edu/chriske2/hidden.pdf It's like the "let's get back to the gool ol days where we taxed the rich at much higher rates." The demagogues who spew that kind of thing out forget to mention how much more the rich (and everyone else) pay now for state/city/gasoline/etc. taxes. They also don't mention how many deductions and shelters there used to be. Practically no rich person paid anywhere near those old rates. Many would be better off today with the old higher rates + all the old deductions/shelters. But again, this complicates things and ruins the "tax the rich, it used to work" claim.
