Trends for tax rates in the past century


The graph above shows the highest marginal tax rate in five rich countries since 1900.  AOC and other Democrats have recently been admonished by Bill Gates for placing too much emphasis on income rather than wealth.  The graph below shows the trends in inheritance taxes in these same countries over this same time period.


Both graphs from Thomas Piketty's blog, where there is a brief explication.
