If you can't see the relationship, then you've given me a difficult task. Let's see...
Income per trillion is taxed at an average rate of 15%, revenues on that amount are 150 billion. If the tax is 16%, then revenues are 160 billion.
Unless, of course, you think that raising taxes automatically decreases GDP, and therefore taxable income. Since you don't believe in trickle down, we don't have to explore that idea.
Actually, the effect on GDP probably depends on just what is taxed and how taxes are levied.
Further, since so many other factors determine GDP, there is no definitive proof of whether a particular levy has or has not affected it.
Since you like looking at the historical record, try going back 60 years and comparing the state of the economy then with the top marginal tax rates.
