My Man Godfrey - 1936.

Watched a funny movie from 1936 last night which spends a huge amount of its runtime skewering foolish rich people, but woke up still hearing one line over and over.

The father of the rich family, played by eyebrow artist and gravelly punchline man Eugene Pallette, says “I don’t mind giving the government 60% of what I make. But I can’t do it when my family spends 50%!”

I haven’t done the math to figure out if your total income tax could have hit 60% in 1936: the top tax rate (which would only apply to the money he made in excess of some large figure) seems to have been around 79%, so he would have to be making a LOT of money.

But somehow, regardless, just a rich character saying that offhandedly to set up the joke keeps playing on loop in my head. “I don’t mind giving the government 60% of what I make.” The government employing people to build bridges and paint murals and interview survivors of slavery for posterity. “I don’t mind giving the government 60% of what I make.” The feeble beginnings of a social safety net. The country crawling out of the Great Depression and some rich guy, even an imaginary one a movie studio could put up on a screen for people, not minding paying his share to the country where all his wealth was collected.

“I don’t mind giving the government 60% of what I make.”
