The Revenue Act of 1935, which was signed into law by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was also known as the 'Wealth tax,' and placed a higher tax on higher incomes. An addendum to the tax was created in 1937, which closed up loop-holds some had used to avoid the tax. The law is no longer in use today, since modern legislators insist on following the belief that the middle class should pay the higher tax.
