There's a brand new Congressional Budget Office
report w/tons of stuff on the income part. It can be
downloaded at www.cbo.gov:
Historical Effective Tax Rates: 1979-1997.
If that's not current enough for you, go to Census
or the EPI web site.

Subject: [PEN-L:12503] query
My wife asked what kind of percentile of the US income distribution we're
in (since one of her friends said that we were in the top 2 percent, and
thus major beneficiaries of the Bushwacker's tax cut, which is absurd).
What's the best source of data for answering this question? what's the best
source if the question is rephrased to be about the wealth distribution?
