The original 1913 income tax was 1% for people with incomes above $3,000 (about $80,000 today) and 6% on $500,000 or more ($13 million). About 3% of the population was taxed. Just keep that in mind when Democrats lie and say the wealth tax will remain targeted at just the top.

Actually SCOTUS ruled and agreed it only covers corporate activity. Meaning legally there is no such thing as personal income tax. Officially it is 0% of the people. Additionally, it never legally passed and ratified. So technically, it's not even legal on corporations.
