<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">mr.brett</strong> said:</div><div>Where do you think the money came from in the first place? Wealthy people! "Redistributing" wealth back to the people you taxed is still wasteful. I'm pretty sure those with money complained about high taxes before, no?</div></blockquote> <br /> Federal taxes are lower now than they were at any point in the last 50 years. I haven't noticed that the complaining has diminished.<br /> <br /> As discussed elsewhere, capital gains taxes are at 15%, and many wealthy people get the bulk of their income from capital gains. Does that sound high to you?<br /> <br /> I'm waiting for the conservatives to start agitating for the return of poorhouses and Dickensian orphanages. Gingrich tried to bring the topic up in the 90s and got laughed at generally. But the GOP has gone further right since then, and it's much crazier. It's only a matter of time.
