In 1944 the highest US tax bracket was 94%

How many people actually paid that top rate? Or was that on paper only?

I'd happily go back to the effective rate of tax in 1944 if you are so willing.

If we're being facetious then I'm sure there will be plenty in France that are willing to compromise even more and go further back and implement the effective tax rate of 1794 on high earners.

GP asked for a tax that was repealed, not reduced.
