That's the same thing they say about people who say man causes global watming.

You're right. The uneducated and the oil companies (and those politicians whom they fund the most) dismay that. There's a lot of those.
There will always be idiots and those paid off.
Which reminds me, when was America great? Haven't I asked you that before and, as one of the resident chickens here, you couldn't answer, right?
And what were the tax rates then? And what were the union membership levels.
Lion chickened out on me yesterday. Your turn!

Media Hysteria: Climate Change ‘Heat Records’ Are a Huge Data Manipulation

The idea that climate change is producing heat records across the Earth is among the most egregious manipulations of data in the absurd global warming debate.

Americans receive a daily barrage from the fake news media and climate “experts” reporting that each and every day, week, month or year is the hottest on record due to global warming. On Feb. 7, several major newspapers carried stories of the declaration by NASA and NOAA that the past five years have been the warmest on record. Sadly, these supposed experts use mathematical equations that do not jive with reality over the past 140 years.

The same climate experts warn that record heat is just the tip of the iceberg. We are constantly told that global warming is the root cause behind any and all weather events that are extreme, destructive, unusual or uncomfortable. Many of these fear mongers also say we should stop burning fossil fuels that are causing this mayhem.

Is the Earth truly experiencing the hottest weather on record? Absolutely not.

After examining actual weather records over the past 100 years, there is no correlation between rising carbon dioxide levels and local temperatures.

Sucker.

You asked me that and I answered you, dummy.
It was when tax loop holes were great too.

And they are not great again now?

I personally was able to take advantage of the tax loophole created for Eisenhower when he retired from the Army. His autobiography was such a big hit that his sudden spike in income would have pushed him into the top marginal rate, something like 70%. Congress responded with an income-averaging loophole. That was still in effect when I got out of the Navy in 1976, and my income in 1977 was a sudden big boost (0nly $4.85 an hour, but a nightshift bonus most of the year and lots of time-and-a-half and double-time overtime).

I missed it. Can you paste it below? 1. When was America great? 2. What were the marginal tax rates? 3. What percentage of workers were in unions?
Simple questions.
A chicken can’t answer.

Hey, a relatively straight answer!
Presumably you mean the latter part of the decade.

When the tax rates were that high, almost everything was written off.
The effective rate was just north of 20%.

Most of those "loopholes" are gone now, so the tax rate has to reflect what the effective rate actually is.

gtfoh.

Not really relevant, when companies have become more sophisticated and moved offshore for tax havens.
They pay far fewer taxes now and, further, the wealthy corps and individuals have far more relative wealth than they used to have.
It's a huge issue.

As the USA was the only major power whose manufacturing and infrastructure weren't adversely affected by WWII we were position to supply the world with what they needed. Men came back from war, even many of the women who had worked in the war effort stayed in the work force and we were a manufacturing monster with a strong union presence assuring a burgeoning middle class, but of course we gave that all away in lieu of corporate profits and to please shareholders now didn't we.
