minus-squareiopq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months ago I wouldn’t mind the wages of the 1950s (adjusted for inflation) Adjusted for inflation, much lower than today I wouldn’t mind taxing the rich at 90% There were loopholes that allowed most people to pay much less, so that’s why they closed those loopholes later
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months ago Adjusted for inflation, much lower than today Evidence please. There were loopholes that allowed most people to pay much less, so that’s why they closed those loopholes later Remind me how much rich people pay in taxes now.
minus-squareiopq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoWe don’t have good WAGE data before 1964 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_real_wages_(red,_in_constant_2017_dollars).png but we also have household income data for earlier years https://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/famincome.html but it doesn’t match 100% because what a household is differs (households used to be bigger in the 1950s) but you can see that 1950-1964 the household incomes grew quickly, so the 1950s were a period of growth, you were a lot better off by 1970
