hey everyone, Mad King Donny has finally figured out exactly when America was great — and he’s going to drag all of us back there, kicking and screaming.

“you know in uh, 1913 they traded to the income tax system. we used to be all tariff. and we had no income tax and we had the wealthiest country we ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913, it was all tariffs, and we did— we had more money than anybody.”

who do you mean ‘we,’ white man? pro tip: when Donny says ‘we,’ he’s not talking about you and me. he’s talking about his own greedy self, and his oligarch buddies: the Space Nazi, Granny-Starvin’ Howie Lutnick, Dick-Rocket Jeff Bezos, and all the tax-cut-seeking gazillionaires who have been funneling multi-million dollar nod-nod-wink-wink ‘donations’ into Dear Leader’s pockets.

1870 to 1913 was indeed an excellent era — for the obscenely wealthy robber barons. they paid no taxes, and had no checks on the vast amounts of riches they could hoard. the rest of us? not so much.

if you were disabled, or too old to work — or simply got fired from your job — the government cordially invited you to go fuck yourself. it wasn’t their problem.

Tiedrich makes some excellent points here. Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

Consequences? They don't care 'bout stinking consequences. They've got theirs, screw everyone else!

3. One could also argue that it was a major cause of 2 world wars

The first half of the 20th Century was pretty horrible for a lot of people.

2. History

Failure to study history increasingly seems to be a human shortcoming.
