One could raise the top bracket to 90% today, and it would only affect doctors and lawyers that actually get a paid a wage or salary. It would probably hit small businesses as well. It would not affect corporate income taxes and it would not affect capitigal gains, dividends and interest. I think Eisenhower was able to pay down a lot of the debt through a rapidly growing economy and not using the increased revenue for pork barrel spending programs.
