Estimating Your Historic Tax Rate

You may have heard that US tax rates are at a historic low.  Warren Buffet has said it. USA Today said it.  CBS said it.  FactCheck.org said it. 

So, what would your tax rate have been in 1950?  1930?  If you've ever been curious, check out Ritchie King's interactive graphic on Quartz.com.  Type in your income and then pick a year on the chart -- it will tell you what your tax rate would have been in that year.

Interesting.
