scratching the surface

the " prominent researcher " used as source for the "data"
is actually a lobbying firm that represents " restaurant, hotel, alcoholic beverage and tobacco industries "

Wonder what their interest would be in higher minimum wage ?

C'mon Grasshopper -- you can do better than this

Do you have literally any data that shows raising minimum wage is good for the macro?
 
Couple interesting things happening lately from Russia.

- Recently sold a large shipment in oil in national currencies, not the petro dollar

- Russia has sold half of it's US T-bills holdings

- Russia has bought a lot of gold, bringing its gold holdings to the highest its been in 2 decades
 
Yes, other than substantive contributions to conversations about free markets, Social Security, welfare reform, wages, and the nature of the social science of economics, leftists have contributed nothing to this thread. I swear, the only thing you hate worse than people not responding to you is people substantively responding to you.
 
More that nobody seems to respond to any data.

It seems that you either

1. Disagree with what the data shows, and thus would explain why, or

2. Agree with the data and thus change your mind on some positions, which would seem to make sense to post about


I was surprised we couldn't get a discussion on the Seattle tax reversal, for example
 
Leftists from here have been discussing economics with you for a decade dating back to scout.

Your positions dont change, so why would we keep the cycle going? This thread is just an extension of past conversations we've had with you.
 
Also I recall the first 2 pages being an argument about the semantics of whether economics is political or not.

But not many contributions to economic issues

This thread is meant to show real world examples of arguments we've had... Or data.

Not theory
 
this is my contribution:

or to be crystal clear, something on one of the "other 99%" meme factories

As an fyi, the corporate tax rate was never close to 90% under Eisenhower.

This is what is known as fake news. I'm guessing Julio will correct you any.minute

Please read your own link.

Corporate tax rates were never close to 90%

This is clearly one of your Facebook friends who wanted to take a different data point and apply it to corporate rates in an effort to make Trump look bad.

You.really need to stop getting your.info from your Facebook echo chamber.

That is what is commonly referred to as fake news
 
So I am CEO of a company making 100 million in profit a year. We are subject to 90 million in taxes..... hmmmm.... 90 million dollar bonus spread over the top ranking positions in the company sound good to me. Any other executives disagree? Didn't think so. Company now pays 1 million in taxes and ends with 9 million total in profit instead of 10 million in profit with 90 million in taxes paid.
