the right wants to return to their fantasy version of the 50s but dont want the rich to have to return to the tax rate that created it

screenshot of a headline from a “fact and myth” article, and below the headline is a graph. the headline reads: “Eisenhower Tax Rates - 90” and the graph shows the Highest Marginal Tax Rate 1913-2014. We can see by the graph that the tax rate is very low in 1913 where the graph begins below 10%. Then it shoots up in 1918 to about 80% before dropping to about 75% and then dropping again this time down below 60% by 1923. it dives to 25% by 1928, and stays there there around 1933 where it shoots up again to about 63% by 1938, then 80% by 1943. It peaks around 1948 at about 95% but then stays at 90% from 1948 through 1963. There it drops straight down to 70%, where it holds until 83 when it plunges to 50%, which it holds until 1988 when it dips again to about 32%. It falls again slightly to 30% by 1993 but claws its way back up to 40% by 1994, where it holds until about 2003, where it drops to 35%. Then it returns to 40% in about 2012. After that the graph does not show any data.

The Democrats don't want to acknowledge their role in destroying that by reducing the tax rate in 1964. Thanks, JFK/LBJ
