Follow the green line. Would have to do an inflation conversion, but 500K in 1913 is millions today, maybe 5 million (would have to do an inflation adjustment)

So following the blue line, looks like the dollar has lost roughly 40 times its value since 1913. If we got rid of the IRS and Louis Lerner and taxed income over 20 million at 7% ( to be like 1913) , I could pragmatically live with an income tax. Of course, the rates always go up and the brackets go down.
