Also I want to point out that a significant chunk of the "increasingly progressive" nature is driven by increases in income inequality over that same timeframe. Both pre and post tax income even for higher earners has increased (as a percentage rate) much much faster than lower earner so anything other than "increasingly progressive" would be an absurdity.

Not saying I entirely disagree with it. I just don't think that data is that compelling since it's a pretty shallow analysis of taxation and income of high earners (which is fine, not every article needs to be that deep)
