  • This article says the same thing. The article is too long so I just read the conclusion. From https://media4.manhattan-institute.org/pdf/ib_19.pdf

    These four lines of reasoning all lead to the same end point: It is potentially misleading to imagine that U.S. taxes in the 1950s can serve as a model for a better approach in 2013. Income tax rates actually paid in the U.S. have remained stable for decades.

    There are policies that can reduce inequality, but I don’t think Americans would approve of a socialist government. Mamdani is live experiment of whether socialistic policies will work.

    Trump’s border policies would have been well received decades ago. Because of Trump, today’s status quo is too far to the right. Democrats should have policies more centrist.







  • Israel is a prosperous country. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel

    The economy of Israel is a highly developed free-market economy.[23][4][24][25][26] The prosperity of Israel’s advanced economy allows the country to have a sophisticated welfare state, a powerful modern military said to possess a nuclear-weapons capability with a full nuclear triad, modern infrastructure equivalent to developed countries, and a high-technology sector competitively on par with Silicon Valley.[23] It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world after the United States,[27][needs update] and the third-largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the U.S. and China.[28] American companies, such as Intel,[29] Microsoft,[30] and Apple,[31][32] built their first overseas research and development facilities in Israel. More than 400 high-tech multi-national corporations, such as IBM, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, Facebook and Motorola have opened R&D centers throughout the country.[33] As of 2025, the IMF estimated Israel has the 25th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and one of the biggest economies in the Middle East.[1]
