Since luxuries were known to have existed, at the time -- I mean, there would have been gold in the Golden Age, mansions, and nice cars -- I have to assume that said tax rate was upon a minuscule income reported as taxable.

There would have been illegal tax shelters or legally-reporting financial instruments, to justify their efforts.

Damn...

Good post Durian

I'm sure that is all true!

I third this.

In fact, when that old Socialist Dwight D Eisenhower was president, we had a top marginsl tax rate of ~94%...  And that wasn't considered shocking.. or crazy back then.. during the golden age of America.
