    Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from conservative lawmakers and economists who argue that such measures will "trickle down" and eventually boost jobs and incomes for everyone else. But a new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.

    The new paper, by David Hope of the London School of Economics and Julian Limberg of King's College London, examines 18 developed countries — from Australia to the United States — over a 50-year period from 1965 to 2015. The study compared countries that passed tax cuts in a specific year, such as the U.S. in 1982 when President Ronald Reagan slashed taxes on the wealthy, with those that didn't, and then examined their economic outcomes.

        The truth I posted is not a "liberal lie" it is a fact. Even centre left governments enjoy giving taxpayer funded handouts to the wealthy in Canada too.
        Example of government and money spent :
        Student loans forgiven for certain people ( i have to help pay)

        Example rich person spenting money:
        Speaks at a college and surprises EVERYONE saying your tuition is paid for by me .( i pay nothing)

        What is the rich fair share for tax ?

          You forgot one.
          Taxpayer funded handouts (tax breaks for the wealthy), I have to pay for.

          Don't forget you also have to pay for the tax deduction on said fake rich person paid tuition.

                  Florida universities tumble in 2025 best college rankings Florida college rankings


                  The highest-ranking school in the Sunshine State is Florida International University (FIU) at No. 77. For context, there are 500 U.S. colleges on the list in total.

                      It's really strange that fictional sex offends you but I haven't heard to say anything about real children being murdered in schools. I'm not sure what that says about you.

                            It's multiple pre teens engaging in sexual acts in a book written in a very graphic manner by a sick person intended for kids. He is probably a pedo but whatever. Your "point" about me not saying anything about school shootings and stabbings is totally a pivot away from the subject. You know you can't win this. I can make the same argument fallacies. And say you haven't condemned this "fictional sex" (love the way you phrase that). I wonder what that says about you. Actually no. In this case it's an actual argument. You're soft defending cp while I didn't totally cover a subject we weren't even talking about in the first place.

                              it's funny cause that's what socialism is like too. Never will work.
