So explain to me how our nation managed to become the single most powerful nation on earth with a top-bracket tax rate of 70% or higher up until the 1980’s? Am I missing something here? Were we not the greatest nation on earth from WWII onwards, despite the top tax bracket being twice what it is now?

Correlation does not imply causation. Do you seriously think that the ridiculously high income taxes of the post-WWII era caused the economic boom, or simply took advantage of it?
