Since conservatives want to return to the 1950s, let's return our top US tax rate to the 50s as well

From 1951-1963, anyone making over $400,000 could have any income over that taxed up to 91 percent. Adjusting for inflation, $400,000 in 1963 would be $2,784,006.46. So why aren't we taxing those making that much that same amount today?

And the kicker is: People were taxed like this during all of Dwight D. Eisenhower (the great socialist)'s 8 years in office!
