During WWII, there was rationing and price controls. That is social manipulation, which was very much necessary and very much the government's job. Without it, the war effort would have been disrupted.
Nixon instituted wage and price controls to control inflation.
Are you suggesting that the government either doesn't have the legitimate right to do this or it's just a bad idea?
You used a corrupt president as your source of validating?
and NO, it was not the Governments' "job", they just did it. strong arm if you will.

What over-taxation? We now have the lowest tax-rates in 80 years. Yet, these low rates have not spurred employment or increased wealth for most people, thereby discrediting the theory that they do. Thinking back to those higher taxes during the Clinton glory days we were economically better off and we had enough money to pay our bills.
There is no evidence that Americans are overtaxed, either by modern historical standard or in comparison to other developed countries.
Raising taxes on those that had them lowered in 2001 should be a no-brainer.
I love postings like this where people just embarass themself non stop.

What the hell do you mean they have no capital at risk? Do you even trade stock? Do you think there is some guarantee for stock traders?
