I Dream of Genie episode

I thought it was absurd when they got a million dollars and were taxed for the majority of it. But I looked it up and it was correct. In 1959, a million dollars in the US would be taxed at 91%!! Crazy! With deductions, it would have been about 42%, but obviously this couple wouldn't know about how to use deductions. Just thought I would share, as I found this interesting.
