Tax rates are much lower than that were in the 60s though, at least in the US.

Not much. Unless you're talking about the marginal top income tax rates. But those are just nominal, doesn't mean that's what people pay. The effective rates, what people really pay, haven't decreased by that much.
And on the other hand sales taxes, especial taxes, and devaluation of the dollar via inflation and public debt have increased exponentially.
So, effectively, taxes are higher than ever, even in the US.
