What do academic economists actually have to say about the link between entrepreneurship and taxation? My impression is that new tech companies start in response to new technological opportunities and have little to do with marginal tax rates.

Hewlett Packard 1939 - Top Income Tax Rate 79%

Intel 1968 - 75%

Microsoft 1975 - 50%

Adobe 1982 - 50%

Google 1998 - 40%
