http://books.google.com/books?id=bU4EAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=&f=false Interesting stuff. Folks living beyond thier means, Article on our growing deficit and dollar risk (balance of payments deficit). And of course the Market crash of 62 Article on a family spending 542 a month but only making 511 a month. Pictures and all. Just change the year and the amounts for 2009
Wow top tax bracket was 90%!!! There are some Millionaire 1040's in the article discussing Millionaire's Tax. Pictures of the 1040's etc.. Cap Gain back then was 25%
Check this part out. Holy #@*^! $511 a month in 1962 is like $3600 today (see http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi ). And $50 is equal to $352. So his gross is 3600 and he ony shells out less than 10% for all his payroll taxes including social security! And he gets money back every year. How far we've come in 58 years.
