As a reminder, the Right love to talk about Kennedy’s tax cut, but 70% is what the eventual bill cut the top marginal rate DOWN TO.

And this was ‘the economy I grew up in’ for all those folks who bitch about the current economy.

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.
