Every boomer reminisces of the 1950s and 1960s.

From 1950 through 1963, the top federal income tax rate ranged between 91% and 92%.

Executives should be paid a salary like the rest of us instead of shares that they can take loans out against and never have to pay off.

For a certain portion of people it was pretty great. Its the only time in history 1 person could work a job and go from lower to middle class for a whole family.
