It certain American people decided that self-respect was preferable to worshipping a fat, stupid, incompetent bully-boy, there'd be no question about when and what was 'great'.
I'm not sure I get the connection. The workers got their pay from the employer which was not effected by how much the wealthy paid the government in taxes.
In 1964 the average hourly wage was $20.27. In 2018 it was $22.65 adjusted for inflation.
Wage growth increased at a slow pace but total employer costs (overtime, benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, retirement contributions) increased 22.5% since 2001. [U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics].
None of these costs came from taxes.
