It was good for the country, not necessarily for the individuals, especially short term. The country was booming because they were just about forced to spend it constructively if they didn't want to pay high taxes.  The drop in high rates after the seventies coincides almost perfectly with the decrease in government spending on infrastructure, education, and research and coincides with the drop in adjusted income for the working people.What is good for the country is not always good for the individual, and starting with the election of Reagan the country and elected reps seems more concerned with the welfare of donors rather than the welfare of the country.</blockquote>
