I missed it. Can you paste it below? 1. When was America great? 2. What were the marginal tax rates? 3. What percentage of workers were in unions?
Simple questions.

1940's, 70% and too many.
Hey, a relatively straight answer!
Presumably you mean the latter part of the decade.
When the tax rates were that high, almost everything was written off.
The effective rate was just north of 20%.
Most of those "loopholes" are gone now, so the tax rate has to reflect what the effective rate actually is.
gtfoh.
Not really relevant, when companies have become more sophisticated and moved offshore for tax havens.
They pay far fewer taxes now and, further, the wealthy corps and individuals have far more relative wealth than they used to have.
It's a huge issue.
Follow the bouncing ball....
Why move offshore?
To avoid taxes. Which is my point. Taxes were higher then.

As the USA was the only major power whose manufacturing and infrastructure weren't adversely affected by WWII we were position to supply the world with what they needed. Men came back from war, even many of the women who had worked in the war effort stayed in the work force and we were a manufacturing monster with a strong union presence assuring a burgeoning middle class, but of course we gave that all away in lieu of corporate profits and to please shareholders now didn't we.

I know crooks like t don't want any competition . . . is that why he wants the wall so badly so he can pick and choose whose shipments get through?
The mafia took over the unions and then the CEO’s and wealthy shareholders took it all.

SCOOP: Trump Will Officially End Negotiations With California On Fuel Economy Rollbacks
February 20th, 2019

The Trump administration will soon announce the end of negotiations with California regarding a proposed rollback of Obama-era fuel economy regulations, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
- The Trump administration will announce it’s ending fuel economy negotiations with California.
- EPA and DOT officials tried to hash out a compromise with California, but talks broke down.
- Federal officials will move ahead with plans to roll back Obama-era climate regulations on cars.
White House officials met with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) officials Tuesday evening to discuss the announcement, which is expected to come Wednesday afternoon, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The move comes as California leads a coalition of states suing to block President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration for the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump’s declaration allows him to divert more funding for a border wall, which California opposes.
The decision also comes on the heels of DOT announcing it canceled a $929 million grant for California’s high-speed rail line and is “exploring every legal option” to recoup $2.5 billion previously granted to the largely defunct project.
However, the source told TheDCNF the timing is not related to battles over border wall and high-speed rail funding. EPA and DOT officials are scrambling to finalize the rollback of Obama-era fuel economy regulations by the end of April, the source said.

Federal officials had been meeting with the California Air Resources Board to hash out a compromise on fuel economy standards. However, those talks eventually broke down and no compromise was made, according to two sources familiar with the process who wished to remain anonymous.
In 2012, Obama administration mandated that cars average about 50 miles per gallon in 2025 as part of President Barack Obama’s climate agenda. Supporters said high fuel economy rules would save Americans at the pump and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
In August, the Trump administration proposed freezing fuel economy standards at 37 miles per gallon in 2020 on grounds Obama-era standard raised car prices, forcing people to drive older, less safe vehicles.
The freeze would prevent about 1,000 traffic fatalities a year and save $500 billion in societal costs, according to EPA and DOT estimates. That proposal also laid the groundwork for EPA to revoke California’s ability to set its own tailpipe standards for carbon dioxide emissions.
Federal officials also found the Obama-era standards would have a negligible effect on projected global warming, about 0.003 degrees Celsius by 2100. (RELATED: The Green New Deal Aims To Retrofit Every Building. Here’s What It Could Cost To Replace Common Appliances)
The administration’s August proposal also laid the groundwork for revoking California’s ability to set its own tailpipe standards, which was granted to them by the Obama administration.
