Yet somehow tax cuts on the rich have zero correlation to our growth, and actually impair it drastically due to the deficit being increased as a nation makes less overall revenue from losing the tax revenue. Our productivity has never been higher, improving by over 60% within less than 50 years, while wages have increased a revoltingly small quantity of 17% in return. We’re exhausted, and it’s time that the money the rich gained largely from us comes full circle back, because this money hasn’t been used to help us, nor has it ever been guaranteed to. Ford did that as a rare thing to draw in workers, then when times got rough, or even good in many cases, our jobs took the hit. We’re still overworked, even when we’ve gotten better, and most of us can’t keep 3,000 in our savings, not because of the government, but because of a shrinking list of viable work options and lacking decent pay all while a housing and healthcare crisis largely built BECAUSE of privatization has costed us dearly. Corporations have not been more efficient in centuries, and our obsession with efficiency has only worsened the problem of workers rights. Unions today are weak, the most they can do is hold things hostage, while having no ability to create positive incentives at all. Think Starbucks, Union busting in that area is strong, open, and hilariously illegal, but not one does crap about it. Regulations is literally what capitalism depends on, because when it’s fully laissez-faire, it costs us big, that’s been historically proven for a long time. Once again, the Bible is a solidified moral system, not the very basis of morality itself. I’m not gonna resurrect stone-age logic to explain why I think treating people like garbage is bad.

How do you explain, then, the shocking turnaround from post-war recession in the early 1920s to an economic boom just a year after Warren Harding slashed taxes in half and Coolidge quartered them? How do you explain, then, the economic revival that happened when Reagan rescinded federal regulations and slashed taxes by massive amounts? Or the realtively good economy after the Trump tax cuts?
