In 1932, the top tax rate was raised from 25% to 63%
In 1936, the top tax rate was raised from 63% to 79%

It took war to bring the world out of the depression , not raising taxes like the democrats want to do. Some people never learn from history.

1945 The top tax rate is 91 percent. It will stay at least 88 percent until 1963, when it is lowered to 70 percent. During this time, America will experience the greatest economic boom it had ever known until that time.

A good economy is good for keeping families together, keeping crime at a low level and just good for our business as well..........................

Oh wow, I didn't know that! Those seem like ridiculously high rates.
