am guessing very few folks paid the 92% rate, because I am guessing anyone qualified to pay at that rate would not, either by machination or by convolution

the 92% rate was, and as all such high rates are likely to be the shiny objects to show the person-on-the-street, to get him to pay his luck-break 35%

w/r to the alternative method of making debt go away, by bankruptcy (jubilee), for the middle class individual, instant relief from crushing psychology, but rapid engagement w/ other issues, and in any case the person is put-in-the-fork done

for the wealthy, a way to get wealthier by any number of means

for the state, really bad stuff happen, except to the wealthy

my guesses

let's wait n see

Under President Eisenhower the highest marginal rate was approximately 92%

Recall what happened in/to England ?
