Of course, that’s the nostalgia filter at work. The US GDP was $4,803 in 1969 according to the World Bank; the Bureau of Labor Statistics makes that equal to about $34,000 in 2018 money, barely half our current GDP and about even with Spain and South Korea.

You understand that the marginal rate is calculated as a percentage of income, not an absolute dollar amount, yes? Because what you just posted is irrelevant hogwash.
