No surprise that's what you find significant!

What's really more important than detached bracket values is the total tax revenue generated. Note the greatest rise occurred following the lowering of the marginal bracket rate!

In 1983 when the highest bracket was 50%, total revenue was $601B. By 1990, when the rate was at its lowest , revenues almost doubled to $1.03T.
