US income inequality continues to grow

Granted, this all happened a few decades ago, but we're still dealing with some of the lowest tax rates since the individual income tax began in this country.



Well let me ask this because I don't know how to look it up.  What percentage of income tax did the wealthy pay in 1960 compared to today.  That's an easier way for me to think about it.
