And income taxes represent a much greater portion of taxes than corporate taxes. The trend is the thing to be illustrated which is what the President's chart does.
In addition it doesn't matter that it ends in 2001 since your comment related heavily to the past 60 years which the President's chart also showed clearly as displaying a different pattern than you were offering.

The trend is the thing to be illustrated which is what the President's chart does.The trend for income taxes, not federal government revenue.
In addition it doesn't matter that it ends in 2001 since your comment related heavily to the past 60 years which the President's chart also showed clearly as displaying a different pattern than you were offering.My point was that "as a percentage of GDP, tax receipts are at their lowest since 1959 and that they really haven't varied much in the last 60 years." Your chart doesn't disprove that. It shows less than half of tax receipts and it's not current.
