US income inequality continues to grow

I'm not sure of the figures, but it would've definitely been a higher percentage given the top tax rate at 91%, though you'd have to make around $3,148,000 in 2013 dollars to reach that mark. Also, at the time capital gains were taxed at a higher rate than they are, today.

From what I understand virtually nobody paid anywhere near that as you could deduct everything under the sun.
