Which begs the question, how happy are we with what is happening economically right now?
- LinuxBender 5y agoTo add to that, where are all our taxes being spent to make us happy? Have higher taxes historically resulted in everyone being happier? Is the money spent on the people? Here is one place in history we had really high taxes on the wealthy [1] but it does not say if it resulted in improved economy and everyone being happier. It looks more like it led to resentment and more defense spending.
