We need to cut corporate taxes to stimulate the economy, like in the 1950's. Right?

8. Not just the rates, the distribution is even more important IMO...

Taking the 1955 tax brackets (married couple filing jointly) and adjusting for inflation:
24 tax brackets total, ranging from 20% to 91%
16 of them only affected incomes above $250,000
11 of those only affected incomes above $500,000
The top rate kicked in for income over ~$3.4 million.

Compare that to now:
7 tax brackets total, ranging from 10% to 39.6%
2 of them only affect incomes above $250,000
0 of those only affect incomes above $500,000
The top rate kicks in for income over ~$440,000.

And that was after the fight to add one more bracket at the top. Otherwise, replace the top rate with 35%, cut one bracket from the total and "above 250K", and the top rate kicked in at ~$388K.
