I'd like to see their work on that, since that's contrary to whatever seen from other sources.

Feel free to post these other sources.

They've been in print, not online.

And I'd still like to see their work. You can skew the results very widely by making a few methodological assumptions. For example, if you pick 1929 for a start year, the data are so skewed by the first decade that the subsequent years are not enough to overcome that effect. Start more recently and you get different results.

you also have to change the definition of "taxable income" back to what it was under Regan.

That shouldn't stop you from citing them.
