Maybe not as high as Denmark, but they have few national resources.

Our top tax rate was 93% at one time.

Google

The top federal income tax rate was 91 percent in 1950 and 1951, and between 1954 and 1959. In 1952 and 1953, the top federal
income tax rate was 92 percent. [2] Some of the distributional assumptions in the Piketty, Saez, and Zucman paper are questionable.

You know the 50's when CEO's made 6 times as much as the workers, the wife didn't have to work, and we built the freeway system.

And yes, we did have a little problem or two with keepin' the brothers down, but the 60's started that to change. At least a little.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
