Perhaps we should have kept taxing the rich the we did during WW2 and the few decades following it? No, clearly that would never work!

Genuine question: source for any of the rich having paid more in the 50s than they did in the 90s? My understanding is that while published rates were high, effective rates were roughly flat until the Bush and Trump tax cuts.
genuine answer that it's really easy to look this up. start with a search on "Roosevelt".

These are literally the rates. Not effectives.
