It was rather interesting, this idea that essentially any income beyond a certain amount would be taxed at 100%. Not saying I'm for it, just throwing this out there for people to think about.
Me, personally, I'd much rather have a tax structure closer to what we had in, say, the 50s. I know that the MAGA types talked about that era with high esteem, though I suspect they felt that way for other reasons. Me, I like the idea that we were bringing in revenues and taking care of our people. There was this idea that was the role of government, promoting the welfare of the people. Crazy idea, that one.
People also forget that the world was in pieces and one country was still together with the ability to rebuild it.
