Just a great infographic: The History of Taxes in the USA
By Nick Sorrentino
April 21, 2014
The maximum tax rate in 1915 (before World War I and the institution of the Federal Reserve and broad income tax) was 7%. The maximum tax rate after 30 years of uncontrolled government, 2 World Wars and an emerging system of crony capitalism driven by the Fed? 94% in 1944. Insane. It just goes to show how powerful statism was during the mid-20th Century. In many ways, a very dark time for the world.
We can’t post the code here, and it is basically an ad for Intuit (we have no affiliation), but the graphic is pretty good nonetheless and worth a click.
