August 13, 2021, marks the fortieth anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s Economic Recovery Tax Act.
Among other policies, the legislation slashed the highest tax bracket’s rate from 70% to 50% while cutting the lowest tax rate from 14% to 11%. In addition to policies from the Federal Reserve that ended two decades of unpredictable inflation, Reagan’s tax cuts contributed to a significant economic boom in the United States.
