If all of Biden’s proposed tax increases passed — on the corporate tax, as well as on investment taxes and income taxes for top earners — the total federal tax rate on the wealthy would remain significantly lower than it was in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s.

In the decades just after World War II, many corporations paid about half of their profits in federal taxes. (Shareholders, who are disproportionately affluent, effectively pay those taxes).

The declines are not all ancient history, either. For most of the past quarter-century, taxes on the affluent have continued falling, including the rates on corporate profits, personal income, stock dividends, stock holdings and inheritances. Barack Obama reversed some of the declines, but only some. “The net effect over the past 25 years of federal income tax policy has been to reduce the overall revenue collected from top earners,” [Owen Zidar](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRic6d2P0S8aHR0cHM6Ly9zY2hvbGFyLnByaW5jZXRvbi5lZHUvemlkYXIvaG9tZT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwNTA0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMwMTgyJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD01NzE2NCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYIx2IpFgZfnMPVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), a Princeton University economist, told me.

The main effect of Biden’s tax plan probably won’t be on the level of G.D.P. It will instead be on the relative tax burden that wealthy people pay.

ARTS AND IDEAS Rebecca Luker, left, and Sally Wilfert on stage in New York in 2019.David Andrako The incredible making of ‘All the Girls’ By the time last year that producers were ready to record a new album by the soprano Rebecca Luker, she was too sick to sing. A.L.S. had robbed her of her strength. But the producers did not give up. They created what Tommy Krasker, the head of Luker’s label, called “the first studio album made without ever stepping in the studio.” They used recordings of one of Luker’s final performances — and the rehearsals for it — while musicians recorded material at home during lockdown. The producers mixed the sounds, “and by some miracle what emerged sounded pristine,” [the critic Jesse Green writes in The Times](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRic6d2P0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNS8wMi90aGVhdGVyL3JlYmVjY2EtbHVrZXItU2FsbHktV2lsZmVydC1hbGJ1bS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA1MDQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzAxODImbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTU3MTY0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgjHYikWBl-cw9Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
