Yes. I’m not disagreeing with you; I’m just highlighting what a unique moment it was, because most people think that was “normal,” and that we can get back to it, but we never can.

I wouldn’t want to “go back” to it. But we do know that the 90% tax on the wealthy is a viable plan to fund the social services and needs of the people. And we also know that it needs to happen.

Edit: I hope it’s clear I was not advocating for something or anything like a return to 1950’s values lol

It isn't really viable within the confines of a dying capitalist empire, though.
