Before the civil war, one senator almost caned another to death in the senate, and the assailant was fined ~10 000 dollars and continued serving as a senator.

The politics of the 21st century is the most civil it has been in human history.

False, the bottom 90% paid about 25% of income taxes (in the US at least). https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income-tax-data/

There's 0 real economists who hold anything close to these views. What a stupid take. Before you downvote, I ask that you find a single source that contradicts my claim. Since all liberal economics is like that, it should be easy, right?
