  • I think Coolidge is definitely underrated even if he couldnt predict the future depression. For his time a very progressive guy (I’d say most progressive, for the day) and he understood the limits the people put on his position and held himself back to those standards. The worst thing he did was signing the Immigration Act despite his concerns raised in a sworn statement.

    No man is perfect in history but in terms of even keeled presidents I think Coolidge stood out.

    Not that Coolidge was an ideal to strive for. But he really did respect what he understood to be the limits placed on his position.





  • The Federal government doesn’t have a sales tax on consumer purchases goods that they charge regular people (-a few very specific things). Most sales taxes are done by states, some states have none.

    And the business isn’t dodging paying sales tax w/ deductions because again most things they spend money on aren’t being taxed on purchase. They’re having their amount of income the government can tax reduced as a reward for investing in themselves to promote economic growth.

    Also private citizens have tax credits (which are preferable to deductions) too if they purchase certain things like EVs. If you buy a new EV the government will give you a few grand.
