>In 1945, corporations paid 50% of federal taxes; now they pay about 5%. Number Two: In 1900, 90% of Americans were self employed; now it's about 2%... It's called consolidation; strengthen governments and corporations, weaken individuals. With taxes, this can be done imperceptibly over time.
How do we revert this?

In 1900 everyone was self employed because of farms and few massive cities, right? Not really something that can be undone
You can't. You also are conveniently leaving out that in 1945 the government was far smaller than it is today.
The bottom pic is ancap, you brainlet.
Just will Yellowstone into erupting.
that's terror
this an actual quote from the game? and what a game btw
In 1900 the US was roughly 40% urban and 60% rural.
If OP's stat is correct, there must've been a lot of self employed people in cities -- shop keepers, craftsmen? Maybe union carpenters/plumbers counted as self employed?
Still surprising. The history books have you believed every 13 year/old was working in a factory, slaughterhouse or coal mine.

Holy shit, neckyourself polshitter.

This is retarded. It's called industrialization. We don't need half the population to be farmers.
Only this
>Now, about 2% of Americans are self employed.
suck my dick motherfuckers
t. entrepreneur
2% seems low, arent more and more people becoming 'self emplyed' by driving ubers, grocery delivery services, etc. doing tasks for richer people.
TFW Our grandparents let us down big time and now we've mouthy tramps and nigger culture instead of utopia
that supposed ancap society on the left only has traits of today's barely-capitalist, highly-regulated and high-cost-barrier corporatocratic societies
i've got limited knowledge, but from what i gather, i think the closest thing that there was to an ancap society was the pre-1930s states
though i agree with you, the ones to decide that should be the entrepreneurs—but certainly, if their businesses fail, they shouldn't get government help

Check the optimates/populares in Rome, the birth of tyranny in ancient Greece or the French Revolution.
It always happens, generally it results in a redistribution of ressources either through reforms or civil war generating a wide redistribution, then of course the dumb/unluckiest mismanage and lose their capital again while the smartest/luckiest accumulate and consolide their positions again during generations.
The root is that humans are fundamentally inequal at a biological level, being individuals or groups.
Feels sad, man.
