Do you solid evidence to back that up?

All I could find was that it was unusual for people to actually pay that rate. And that was AI, which is frequently wrong.
The really shocking part is the rates at the bottom. The beginning rate was 23%. Now days, that rate doesn't happen until a person has a really good job.
And, they only got a 10% standard deduction or $1000, whichever is less. Personal deductions were $500. A young married couple of only 2, started paying 23% when they broke $1200 of income.
