A Statista graph showing the marginal tax rate in the US from 1913 to 2020 along the X axis, and percentage tax rate from 0% to 100% along the (vertical) Y axis. “ * marginal tax rate is the highest tax rate paid on someone’s income and only applies to income over a certain level. - e.g. earnings above $200k in 1960 were taxed at 90%.” highlights of the graph are a swift rise from 8% in ’13 to 78% in ’18, a peak at 94% at the end of WWII, a plateau from ’65 to ’81 at 69.13% that ended with Reagan in two steps down to 28% with a rise to 40% in the early ‘90s where it has remained until now, give or take.
An ornate room in the Smithsonian Institute’s Cooper-Hewitt museum has been turned into a recorded-music listening room with a very large pair of 3-way speakers backed by a large subwoofer with two drivers. Miles Davis live at the Fillmore East (1970) was playing the day I was there. From the Cooper-Hewitt web-site: Posted by Laurie Bohlk on December 10, 2025 HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3 features a large-scale, handmade audio system by multi-disciplinary artist Devon Turnbull. Known under his creative pseudonym OJAS, Turnbull handcrafts high-fidelity audio systems designed to envelop the listener in sound that is as rich in texture as it is in emotion. Upon entering, visitors will experience realistic, natural sound from Turnbull’s sculptures and a chance to slow down and engage deeply with sound. The listening room is part of the exhibition Art of Noise.
