...the best you could do is conclude that other more powerful forces have far more impact on the economy
Precisely. Now it is possible that the tax rate can have a significant influence, but it has to be a pretty extreme change. Taking the top tax bracket from 35% to, say, 90% would probably have an economic impact. From 35% to 39%, a dubious proposition at best.

Sadly, after decades of pushing Koch brother's propaganda, a lot of Americans just don't understand how our economy operates.
