Are you purposefully being obtuse? I told you to scroll down on the second link to the part that is entitled "Tax Rate on Wage Income". That sets forth the top marginal tax rate for wage income and it is 50% for the years 1982 thru 1986. Scroll down again past the part about the taxes on interest and go to the part that starts "Tax Rate on Wage Income". Here is the link again Link No. 2. By the way, how many different sources do I have to get for you before you will concede that Reagan cut the marginal rates again in 1986 and in dramatic fashion just as Stephen Moore and the Hoover Institute have said?

First, I now see what you mean on the tax rate on wage income. As I said before, something is odd with these numbers. For ex., the tax rate on $300,000 is HIGHER than the tax rate on $400,000, but $400,000 is lower than $1 mil.

Second, I have reprinted in my book the actual tax page ---the government's own document from 1913 and it doesn't jibe with the stats you've given here.

Now, I can't explain why Moore says what he does, any more than I can explain why Reagan said it was a tax increase. Can you?
