QDear Skilled Fact Checkers of the 100 Hour Board,

I read a post on a discussion board that during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration, Americans were taxed at 91% for income above $400,000 per year. True of False?

ADear Your Name There,

True. Scroll down to the years of Eisenhower's presidency (though, notice the difference between filing jointly and individually, as well as head of household) and take a gander.

Oh, he served from 1953-1961, if you didn't know.

Huzzah fact checking! Huzzah Google!

ADear Name-

Should 9% appear too small, be grateful I don't take it all.

Ah ah, Mr. Heath!
