You statement is based on the premise that democrats understand the concept of people keeping their own money. They believe that all monies belong to the state. There is no such thing as spending too much to them.
“”There is no such thing as spending too much to them””
Which is not what my reply was about. You said that the pols want MORE TAX REVENUE so they can spend more and I said there has never been a SHORTAGE OF MONEY TO SPEND! They have always spent money like drunken Indians - sorry Senator Warren.
We all know they want to spend, spend, spend. If there ever had been a shortage of $$$, we’d have seen some changes made but that alas has never happened - except possibly for the war effort in WWII but that was out of necessity to get men and materiel to the front! We had shortages of goods at home and THAT was our contribution to the war effort.
I’m sure there are plenty of FReepers who remember the ration stamps. My family were farmers so we weren’t hurt as much as others were. Gas wasn’t rationed for farm equipment, we raised our own food..had stamps for sugar and shoes. Each member of the family had their own ration book. I still have one..
Can’t help but wonder just much tax revenue did go down when all the working men went off to war.
