Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President of the United States (1923–1929).

According to Bob Murphy, "As far as fiscal responsibility, Coolidge was superlative.

"In contrast to the onerous burden created under Woodrow Wilson, during the Coolidge years the bottom bracket's tax rate was brought down to 1.5 percent by 1926, while an upper-middle-class (though hardly "filthy rich") household earning $20,000 saw its tax rate slashed to 9 percent.

"He ran budget surpluses every year he was in office."
