Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:

Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.

I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

    World War Two, with taxation rates of up to 90%, prove my point.

    Low taxes on the rich discourage investment in products and services, diverting money away to finalization and rent-seeking behaviour.

    Learn from history.

          How does the gender essentialist legality rule for bald women who have had at least 3 menstrual cycles, such as breast cancer patients?

    Taxation rates of 90% were entirely theoretical. Every kind of stupid exemption and credit was available to avoid that tax.

    Tax rates, as actually paid, haven't really changed.

    I happen to think that a tax code full of crazy exemptions isn't reasonable. It favors the people with good accountants.
