So this post is dishonest, as one might expect from a blatant anti-capitalist. It suggests that the corporate tax rate has just moved towards the low end in a linear fashion, whereas the truth is that it has fluctuated during the years. It also suggests that taxes were in general higher in 1950, which also is not exactly true.
People just became much better at dodging taxes is the real answer, but even your own source shows that tax collections in the 50s And 60s were over 3% of gdp while it’s 1% now

Did you forget where you are? Most of us here are blatant anti-capitalists. Using that as an insult might work other places but you’re not on Reddit anymore, friend.
I mean I think being blatantly anti-capitalist is not a good thing, but tt wasn’t meant as an insult. I do realize some people especially here think that such a position is a good one.
Most reasonable people are anti-capitalist because capitalism is inherently a system design on exploitation. The literal point of it is to abuse and exploit the workers for the gain of the few.
As one of the few non-radical leftists here, I appreciate your comment. Certainly pleasant to see after a lot of opinions mostly informed by anticapitalist sentiments, not practical concerns or facts.
I’m with you. There are either a lot of bad actors in this thread, or a lot of uneducated people. Don’t really have a preference on which it is, they are both pretty bad.

Fair enough!
Actually, why is everyone here an anti-capitalist? I thought only some servers were communist. And why am I here?

Why do you have to lie about taxation then, if reason is on your side?
I don’t believe I did but thanks for showing me how reasonable you are.
I think you might be somewhat insulated from a great deal of reasonable people that don’t share your views.
