I never said they did it all
I said it turned to shit after they took control and it got worse
Or am I speaking too fast for you
I love the whole tax breaks for the rich thing, the poor of this country don't pay taxes and haven't for a very long time. I knew a girl that had 2 kids, paid no taxes all year working at the cafeteria at a hospital I worked at, full time. No federal taxes came out of her checks and she got over $5k back from the government every year. Things might have changed, that was about 12 years ago.
June 6th, Revenue Act of 1932 passed, the largest peacetime tax increase in the nation's history to that date
raised top tax rates from 25% to 63%
reduced personal exemptions from $1,500 to $1,000 for single persons
reduced personal exemptions from $3,500 to $2,500 for married couples
yet did it help the Great Depression, when was it over?
