Comment on US Historical Income Tax Rates

Comments

Honestly kinda worthless without knowing the average marginal rate that people in each income brackets payed. People always hype up the 90% tax bracket but tax deductions and credits were so plentiful that the raw rates are very misleading.

Not to mention it was still a society where one could legitimately hide income from the government with ease.
