A very preliminary glance at a tiny slice.... Marginal rate for one income tier only, not even median, and for one YEAR only... not for the decade of the 'fifties' or the 'sixties' as a whole --- what we were discussing --- and with no attempt at compiling a comprehensive input for all other taxes (the idea that you introduced to get to "effective total tax load", rather then just the federal effective load), and even so, even looking at just one fairly well-offish tier for a couple and for just one year in the mid-nineteen sixties... you see (thus far) but a modest difference between that example and today.... (Hardly a ringing confirmation for your contention yet! <g>)
