 Marginal Tax Rates, by Alan Reynolds: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
The seemingly arcane topic of marginal tax rates became the central theme of a revolution in economic policy that swept the globe in the eighties.
Tax rates were cut from 60 percent to 35 percent, and the economy grew by 5.4 percent a year from 1981 through 1987.
Apparent "tax cuts"—from a top marginal rate of 70 percent to 33 percent—became actual tax increases, particularly for "the rich." The explanation for this paradox lies in the critical distinctions between average and marginal tax rates, and between "static" effects right now and "dynamic" effects over years and decades.

 Effective Federal Tax Rates, 1979-1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Effective tax rates provide information that can be used to evaluate the vertical equity of the federal tax system (how rates vary as income rises), but they indicate nothing about horizontal equity (the similarity of rates faced by households with similar incomes).
These and other changes in tax law during the 20-year period also affected the level of corporate taxes as well as the level and mix of excise taxes and are thus reflected in the effective tax rates for those two sources of revenue as well.
Between 1979 and 1997, a large drop in the effective corporate income tax rate offset a smaller rise in the individual income tax rate for elderly childless households as a group, yielding a decline of 1 percentage point in their overall effective federal tax rate (see Figure 1-14).
