So government created the middle class then?It's funny when allegedly educated people claim a prosperous middle class is the inevitable result of reduced taxes, small government and minimal regulation.
It's an ahistorical worldview.

When you put it that way, it’s almost as if HH isn’t a serious person.High taxes and massive regulation built the middle class guys
He basically did that in this thread.Need To dig up the time where H actually claimed something similar to this.
something something the economy thrives under regulation.
middle class to H means entry level tech jobs filled by foreign nationals who got their STEM training at UW under a student visaH finds that the middle class prospers when small LLCs and S-Corps are taxed more by Democrats and even forcibly closed by Democrats as part of an election fraud plan that was laughably obvious, yet when you own the jurisdictions where complaints can be filed, those Democrats disbar your attorneys and harass/bankrupt the complainants.
Piece of shit.
Government played a very large role in distributing wealth to the middle class. Post-WWII prosperity didn't arise out of shrinking government and austerity.So government created the middle class then?It's funny when allegedly educated people claim a prosperous middle class is the inevitable result of reduced taxes, small government and minimal regulation.

Post world war 2 prosperity was mostly due to the USD becoming the world’s dominate currency. Which you are hell bent on ending through insane government policy.Government played a very large role in distributing wealth to the middle class.

We're talking about prosperity enjoyed by the middle class. It arose out of "left-center" policies. It has never arisen out of a low tax, low regulation policies in all of economic history.Post world war 2 prosperity was mostly due to the USD becoming the world’s dominate currency.

You're free to point out some extended period of a growing and prosperous middle-class spawned by your small government ideas. (We call that a "fool's errand".) The post-WWII period belongs to Keynesian economics, heavily subsidized education, strong labor rights, high taxes and massive public projects.Might be the dumbest thing you've ever said, which is really impressive and a high bar.It's funny when allegedly educated people claim a prosperous middle class is the inevitable result of reduced taxes, small government and minimal regulation.

Nobody paid the 90%.The middle class in the US arose out of the ashes of Europe. You are able to get away with 90% marginal tax rates in an environment of no competition. Do that now and see what happens.

You might have a point if the same left-center policies hadn't also produced a more widespread distribution of prosperity in Europe during the same period. But they did.The middle class in the US arose out of the ashes of Europe. You are able to get away with 90% marginal tax rates in an environment of no competition. Do that now and see what happens.
And yet, despite my "religious belief", I'm still waiting for your historical example of a prosperous middle class arising out of a low tax, lightly regulated, small government environment.You're free to point out some extended period of a growing and prosperous middle-class spawned by your small government ideas.

We've been down this road before.
You have a religious belief in central planning and redistribution.
