Summary for you guys that don't want to check out the rescources.
Currently....
When all taxes on labor income are combined, the average American family faces a 44 percent marginal tax rate.
This implies that, on the average, families get to keep only 56 cents out of each additional dollar they earn.
Tax cuts following the war(WWII) reduced the Federal tax burden as a share of GDP from its wartime high of 20.9 percent in 1944 to 14.4 percent in 1950 .... 29.6 in 2000
