2. Bush had the most expensive war in history.
I suppose that if we'd lost 100,000 American lives, we'd then have 100,000 new jobs here at home.

3. Along with WWII
we had a top tax rate of 88% to 93%, from 1942 to 1944. Hmmmm.

5. And none of those that use the war as a fix it for the depression
ever mention the high tax rates. Never. They are running scared and it is the internet that is helping. High taxes help the economy. It is so easy to see.
