Yo mama's so fat when she went to the beach Greenpeace tried to drag her ass back in the water.If you want another laugh about this whole socialist claim by McFailin, point your browsers to this site: Historical Top Tax Rate.
It’s historical proof (with a few caveats) that the high-end tax rates, the ones that affect the wealthiest Americans, were indeed much higher under Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon than under Bill Clinton or a future Obama administration. Take a look. In 1944, 94% of the money you made over and above a certain amount (today that amount would be $250,000 for a single filer) was taxed. 91% under Republican president and Operation Overlord war hero Dwight D Eisenhower. 90%?!?!? But they still liked Ike!
Between 77% and 70% was taxed under Nixon and Ford. And 50% for most of Reagan’s term. It’s only from 1987 or so that that rate dropped under 40%. You can argue about changes in the tax codes or the distribution of people amongst the different tax-rate bands historically, but let’s understand that there is nothing about today’s tax rates that can be considered socialist when you compare it to a history of tax rates of the 20th century.
If Joe the Plumber could add, he’d probably have understood this.

Yo mama's so stupid, she thinks Taco Bell is where You pay Yo telephone bill.I always knew “Spice Up Your Life” was a thinly veiled anthem for Marxism
A German hobby historian says he’s discovered that Posh Spice is a descendant of a Heilbronn, Germany communist who was close to Karl Marx.
Hans Müller, 72, says he has been researching the Pfänder family for years, but recently discovered that Carl Heinrich Pfänder (1819-1876), the son of a Heilbronn cooper who emigrated to London after taking part in the worker’s movement, is former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham’s great-great-great-grandfather. The communist revolutionary from southwest Germany was an artist and painted miniatures for work in London.
Born Victoria Adams, Beckham is famous for her flashy lifestyle, but her German roots are humble. Pfänder “didn’t get rich,” Müller said. “His wife was buried in a pauper’s grave in London.”
According to Müller, Posh’s forefather left Germany for London because it had “become a bit tight politically.”
“He participated in the 1848 revolution and was with Friedrich Engels at the famous battle in Waghäusl,” Müller said, adding that the revolutionary had also belonged to communist organizations in London.
Müller, who travelled to London three times in the course of his research, says he also discovered that football star David Beckham’s wife has musical roots too. Pfänder’s brother Wilhelm was choral singer and revolutionary who was also active in the revolution and emigrated to America in 1848, going on to become state treasurer in Minnesota.
Müller has been in touch with the pop star’s mother Jaqueline, who confirmed his assertions and promised to tell her daughter, he said.
