TRUMP, TARIFFS AND THE ROOSEVELT ERA The Democrats would do well to mind their manners. We do have the example of the Roosevelt era on the table before us. Let's look and compare, The Dems are trying to make an issue of the tariff and inflation with the income tax at a comparative low to the Roosevelt era. Inflation is supposed to be at the three per cent level with the tariffs responsible for part of that. During the Roosevelt era inflation sky rocketed. During the late forties it was in a runaway mode, but let us look at the income tax. The income tax was at a maximum level of 90% of income. Now, not only did you have out of control inflation but probably 25 to 50% as minimum income tax rates. The Dems aren't very bright if they think we don't know that. And now, Trump is even projecting an end to the income tax. We'll see, but his intentions are the direct opposite of the Roosevelt era. Did I mention that Roosevelt was a demon Dem?
