Revert Tax Rates to 1960 rates

Created by J.W. on February 24, 2013

US economic growth was very high between the Korean and Vietnam wars.
To duplicate that level of growth revert to the 1960 income tax rates that started at 20% from the first dollar of taxable income and topped out at 91% for income over $400000. The tax credits and exemptions should revert to those rates
The US government could liquidate most of it.s debt, finance social programs and almost all citizens would have a financial stake in good government.
