[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5753273, member: 24302"] OK I looked it up. FDR proposed a 100% tax on all income above $25k to help pay for the war. Didn't happen. In today's dollars that's a little over $490k. To be clear the top income tax was 90% and the 100% proposal wasn't to attack the greedy rich or to expand the welfare state. It was about paying for WWII. [/QUOTE]
