During the administration of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
a 92 percent marginal income tax rate for top earners in the United

the time, the highest tax bracket was for income over $400,000.


President Eisenhower didn't have to Tweet in order to bypass the lying Liberal Leftist news media. The infestation of of the news media by Commiecrats wasn't as extensive during Eisenhower's Presidency. I never mentioned President Eisenhower in the post you're responding to. I was responding to a Liberal Leftist Socialist non-American who insanely equated President Trump and his plans to slavery and has some bizarre belief that American workers will be paid in peanuts instead of dollars. So I believe it is you sir who are the idiot because you went even farther off the rails. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Going back to Lincoln...he did not give a damn one way or other about
slavery. His only concern was to keep the Union together.

Hindsight says it was a bad move as all that happened was about 620,000
people died and a lot of property was destroyed.

Top this day there is still animosity between the North and South...plus,
with industrialization slavery would probably not have been around for
too much longer. It would probably have been better all around it
Lincoln just let the South go.
