Highest it got was 94% in 1944-45

Dropped into the high to low 80's% in for rest of 40's, then up to 91-92 from '51-63

upper income level before deductions and such...the taxable income was far less than the scale...and did not address the middle class and lower! Get real...if the tax rate was a real 94% everyone would have been living on the street or shanties at best...

Nobody starved to death. You can remove FDR's pecker from your mouth now.

It was stated at the beginning, top tax bracket, ie over $200k. I read posts before I comment.

Take your nap! Kathianne was the only one who was honest about the rate...she did not cherry pick she posted the link which qualified my comment...The shock and awe did not muster a 94% real rate...marginal as you are referring to it being...go have another mai tai and take your evening nap..'Child of the Corn'...

Mike Church put it simply the other day when he compared socialism to fascism. “A fascist is a socialist with a gun.” Although overly simplified, the comparison is valid.

Its fairly obvious that FDR was a socialist. He ushered in the era of Big Government. His wide reaching social programs, such as Social Security, the “alphabet agencies” such as the WPA and the CCC, the explosive growth of government, and government employment have caused millions to be dependent on the government. He raised taxes to the highest level ever seen in America, up to an individual marginal rate of 91%!

But did FDR cross the line into fascism? Did he use a “gun” to enforce his policies? If you refuse to pay your taxes, would you not be threatened with imprisonment? What about the relocation camps for Americans of Japanese, Italian, or German origin?

I think he crossed the line.

Jonah Goldberg called. He wants his schtick back.

NEVER!!1

Child of the corn?

I don't get it, unless you're talking about my corn cob pipe?

The top marginal tax rate was in the 90% neighborhood at one point. What are you disagreeing with here? It is now in the neighborhood of 33%.

That's good, not bad.
 
A fascist is not a socialist with a gun...not a valid argument at all.

FDR was a pig socialist, not smart enough to be a fascist.
