      Thanks for the citation, marginal income tax rates going down for the highest percentage is an interesting data point, but It hardly refutes my point as there is no analysis there regarding which party those changes came from. I think there was a northwestern study that showed that politicians in general care about issues that wealthy people care about that would better illustrate your point, but I think both of these are more examples of regulatory capture and a system that requires donors to elect candidates, than it is evidence that the left and right share values.

      My statements that the left is far more likely to tax the wealthy, and that they have wildly different values still stand.

      I’m a troll because I asked you for more information to understand your ambiguous claim? Yeah okay pal. 🙄

        You’re a troll because you’re still pretending not to know documented history. You know each of those tax rates had years net to them. Guess what you could do if you had an iota of curiosity in you…

        The US democratic party is just as happy to cut taxes for the rich as the republican party. They’re also just as happy to cut spending on social welfare programs.

          I can’t read your mind, unpleasant one, nor am I aware of all of documented history/historical data despite what you might think of me. Hence, asking for more information.

          Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Look at what they vote for and you will see a noticeable difference between Democrats and Republicans. Claims that both sides are the same are simply not true.

            Then don’t make claims about which party does what. It’s that simple. You made the claim, now you say you aren’t aware of easily found data. Vibes don’t really change facts.
