The 91% level was in the Eisenhower era.

Tax rates were cut in the Kennedy era.

Thank you, I just remember I was young when he said this. I just saw that the 91% rate’s last year was 1959. I would have been 10. Of course the 91% rate was only paid on income above a certain level. So very little of his tax owed would have been at that level.
