And since income taxes where not generally lower, the overall middle class tax burden (at least excepting EITC people today and their closest equivalents in the past, and maybe even if you make no such exception) was higher, since the payroll taxes have increased by over 100%, and since state income and sales, and several other taxes have increased.
