Elvis said, about Parker, “I don’t think I’d have ever been very big if it wasn’t for him. He’s a very smart man.” Parker reportedly said, about his promotional efforts for Presley:
“I consider it my patriotic duty to keep Elvis up in the 90 percent tax bracket.”
And during the peak of Elvis’ career, there really was such a thing as a 90% tax bracket: in fact, it even went up to 94%. Yep, you read that correctly: 94%.
