    There is no doubt that the US population fared best, when most of the economy revolved around manufacturing

    Was that back when the top marginal tax rate was over 90% and the effective corporate tax rate was over 50%?

    I wonder why the population fared best back then… Oh well, I guess we’ll never know. It must have been due to there being manufacturing jobs, right? Yeah lets just say that.
