One glance at the chart, and WOW!

It's not entirely sustainable, though. The repatriation of offshore profits is a one-time pop that bumped the corporate tax receipts and the lower cap gains rate incentivized taking the gains now rather than later.

You can only say it's not sustainable if you show us how much of the increased receipts were from repatriation and how much were from cap gains.
