Given inflation, it seems like payroll taxes have fallen.
30k is (per https://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/inflation.php?amount=3...) $397,964.84 dollars.
I'd suggest looking at the following for a reasonably good look on the progressive tax rate, historically.

We'd also raise taxes on the poorest quintile - you know, the people that currently don't pay any, and repeal medicare taxes.
That'd pretty much get us back to post ww2 taxes.
