"A 91 percent bracket is a ceiling on pay." Sticker

The Tax Foundation puts the top 1 percent's average federal income tax rate across the 1950s at about 16.9 percent, so the bracket raised far less than its headline rate implies. Economists Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, and Stefanie Stantcheva calculated in a 2014 paper that the revenue-maximizing top tax rate, once labor supply, tax avoidance, and pay bargaining are all counted, comes out near 83 percent, close to where the 1950s bracket actually sat. The sticker says "A 91 percent bracket is a ceiling on pay." and carries the address of the Tax the rich page on this site, where the claim sits with its evidence, the best case against it, and the answer. It is sized for a laptop lid or a water bottle. Print partner and vinyl stock stay pending until a physical sample has been checked.
